Both underwings are very similar , but if you look at the 'boomerang' shaped mark , left of the 5 black spots , there is no other marking between it and the body on the forewing . The Common Blue has a conspicious spot between the 'boomerang' and the body . The fore and hind wings need to be open as in your shot to make the ID . I'll try and remember to post a comparison shot .<br /> Your first damselfly is a recently emerged Large Red , in the process of colouring up . <br />Your second is a blue form female Common Blue .<br />Nice Burnet Companion and migrant Silver Y shots .Greeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18036202102998375825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8272641239781020595.post-17423075033770675162010-05-25T18:59:16.534+01:002010-05-25T18:59:16.534+01:00Cheers Josh,
