Banded Demoiselle on Himalayan Balsam

            By brushing past a patch of nettles I was able to get close enough to this individual to get a decent image with my macro lens. I've found that Banded Demoiselles don't tolerate a particularly close approach and, although they often perch in prominent positions, they nevertheless select locations surrounded by natural barriers such as water, nettles and thistles. So wet feet and stings up the leg are normally part of the price of a decent image!
