Thread: Insect images

Wolf these are very nice.
Only trouble is because they are 1600px wide they spread the page too wide to see as a whole image without scrolling or adjusting zoom.
I think the preferred posting size for images in threads on these sorts of boards is 1024?

aha ok will post in smaller format in the future but as I'm using a full hd monitor, at less then 1600 they seem very small for me

Did this dragonfly play in Tron ? :)

That's a Damselfly, wolf. Related to dragons but always very slender and they fold their wings which dragons don't. Barrie (grebeman) will be able to identify the exact species I'm sure

Wolf, I would say that that is a Blue-tailed Damselfly, although there are many more species on the continent, and I don't have a continental guide, so I'm not certain if there are any very similar confusion species on the continent that we don't get in the UK.
