This is a damselfly that I managed to find in front of my house. This damselfly looks very different from other types of dragonflies, it has a very small body, especially its abdomen, which looks like a thin stick. This damselfly also has large wings, even larger than the size of its abdomen, and it also has two very large compound eyes that are black, just like the rest of its body.
However, there is a yellow line along the lower part of its abdomen, and the one I found was most likely an adult damselfly. In order to capture clear details, I tried photographing this damselfly with the help of a macro lens, and the results I got were very satisfying.

"}The good news is that the population of this damselfly is still relatively stable in my area, and we can still easily find them in plantations as well as along the edges of forests. However, this is a very agile insect and it is very difficult to approach, especially when trying to photograph it.
Alright everyone, now I am going to share some pictures of this damselfly here.
