Whilst down at Sandwich Bay last week photographing the Dainty Damselflies, I spent a while searching for the Scarce Blue tailed Damselfly. After a thorough search, I found 3 Scarce Blue tailed Damselfly which included 1 male and 2 female aurantiaca phase. I didn't expect to see any aurantiaca females and one looked like it was newly emerged as well due to the very dull colours. I also found one which was very orange indeed and despite the colours, they can be tricky to find initially. As ever, I set about trying to capture these beautiful bright insects and with some good weather, I ended up with a few pleasing images. This species continues to do well at this well managed site and hopefully, they can continue to thrive and expand in the area.
