| The Familiar Bluet (Enallagma civile) is a common and widespread damselfly across much of the U.S. It inhabits a wide variety of habitats including ponds, rivers, swamps and even salt marshes. The photo of the male here was a digital capture in July 2003 in Austin, Travis Co., Texas with a Canon EOS 10D and EF 180 mm F3.5 Macro lens with a 1.4 X extender and ring flash. The female in the next image was shot with the same equipment at the same location in May, 2003. |  |
