Caught in the Act - Underwater Nymph Strikes a Pose!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness the incredible world beneath the surface as a mischievous Blue-tailed Damselfly nymph clings to pondweed in Wat Tyler Country Park. With its delicate body and vibrant blue tail, this little creature seems to have mastered the art of camouflage. Photographed in a specialist photography tank and later released back into the wild, this nymph proves that even underwater models need their time in front of the camera! Its tiny arthropod legs effortlessly grip onto each strand of pondweed, showcasing both strength and grace. As spring blooms across Essex's wetlands, this English beauty emerges from its watery sanctuary. The clear waters provide an ideal habitat for these enchanting damselflies to thrive. Their presence adds a touch of magic to our local ponds and reminds us of nature's intricate wonders. With every detail captured by FLPA photographer Dave Pressland, we are transported into an unseen realm where freshwater larvae dance among submerged weeds. This image serves as a gentle reminder that there is so much more happening below the surface than meets the eye. So next time you find yourself near Wat Tyler Country Park or any other wetland paradise, take a moment to appreciate these fascinating creatures who call it home. Who knows what hidden treasures await your discovery?
