Damselfly 豆娘蜻蛉 ...


I became interested in Damselfies
when I started photographing Dragonflies,
when there are sitting in vegetation,
they can be very difficult to find.
...
When at rest,
 I notice a damselfly put its wings at its back;
while a dragonfly rests its wings parallel to the body.
...
In Chinese, it is called “DouNiang” 豆娘. 
“Dou” 豆 means bean, and “Niang” 娘 means mother or lady. 
It is called the “Lady of the Bean” in Chinese.
...
She looks weak and soft when she moves in the air, 
she always has a beautiful dance, 
just like a beautiful lady.
