Banded Demoiselle

First one I have found this year.
This appears to be a very young male Banded Demoiselle (Calopteryx splendens) as it hasn't turned dark blue yet, so must have just emerged.

    Fantastic images Roy, you can see the hairs on the legs and the leaf colours are a great contrast.

    Oh, Roy, how beautiful! I haven't seen ANY yet...it's still awfully cold here and spring is very late. Your header picture is just gorgeous!
