Beautiful Damselfly

Many of us often see this little dragonfly, its name is Damselfly (Ischnura heterosticta). I found this Damselfly in the bush, near the swamp of aceh. The day was very bright, looks like he's sunbathing, and I took the picture in a hurry.

All these pictures I took with my smartphone camera, xiaomi redmi note 4, with additional macro lenses.

To know more about Damselfly, here I quote a description of Damselfly from wikipedia.

Damselflies are insects of the suborder Zygoptera in the order Odonata. They are similar to dragonflies, which constitute the other odonatan suborder, Anisoptera, but are smaller, have slimmer bodies, and most species fold the wings along the body when at rest. An ancient group, damselflies have existed since at least the Lower Permian, and are found on every continent except Antarctica.

All damselflies are predatory; both nymphs and adults eat other insects. The nymphs are aquatic, with different species living in a variety of freshwater habitats including acid bogs, ponds, lakes and rivers. The nymphs moult repeatedly, at the last moult climbing out of the water to undergo metamorphosis. The skin splits down the back, they emerge and inflate their wings and abdomen to gain their adult form. Their presence on a body of water indicates that it is relatively unpolluted, but their dependence on freshwater makes them vulnerable to damage to their wetland habitats.
