Ischnura verticalis with a Drop of Water

Yes, this is an example of Ischnura verticalis commonly known as a blue green damselfly and no I didn't know the scientific Latin name, I had to look it up. If you want to get a shot of these or see them flitting around try most any park or area that is marshy or has a small pond. They are predators, so if you're really lucky you can see them eating other little bugs.

I'm not sure how this guy got a big drop of water hanging off him but it made for a cool shot.
