Crunchy Lunch
Here are a few shots I managed to take of one of the spreadwings (Lestidae), pantserjuffers in Dutch, having a hearty meal.
The meal itself was beyond identification, but it sounded crunchy, and took about a minute to eat.

Do you still think they are cute?
Thanks for watching!
When I read "pantserjuffer" I imagine something like this:
p.s. Wait a minute. "Juffer" means maiden? As in "Armored Maiden"? This is the coolest nickname ever! Also good for an anime series. Or even a music band's name! I call dibs on it! :D
"Pantser" is "armour" in Dutch, not "tank", and "juffer" is "maiden" or "young woman". Don't take your fantasy too far 8-).
Ah, but zie Germans use "panzer" (which I believe still means "armor") to reference their armored vehicles, hence my association with tanks.
What could be cooler than an armored maiden? :D
Wow this is beautiful.
Cool looking creature
Really pretty. I really like. You are good at photography. Bravo
It's interesting to see a damselfly with wings spread out.
Wow again something from you which is fabulous...:)
Beautiful!
Of course they're cute. And they color steemit :)
Very nice and interesting too. I have seen damselflies that hold their wings out a bit like that but did not know the family Lestidae were known as Spreadwings.
It's what sets them apart from the other damselflies. They sometimes almost sit like dragonflies.
i like your photo my friend
Glad you like it!
