A red damselfly.

Which of the 17 (according to my reference) species this belongs to I am not sure but it is probably Pyrrhosoma nymphula.

Also have pictures of blue varieties including Coenagrion puella.

The picture was taken on Fujicolor Supera 200 using one of my trusty Minolta SRTs and scanned using a Minolta Dimâge Scan Speed.

A 75-300mm macro zoom with a 36mm extension tube was used on one of the Minoltas for this hand-held shot (my Macro lens being fitted to another Minolta body on a tripod and lined up waiting for the shot displayed on Page 3).
