Dave , Trust your first impressions . These are a pair of Common Blue Damselflies mating . Once an adult , Damsel/Dragonflies do no shed any more , after having done it 5-8 times , depending on species , whilst in the larval stage . They only have 2/3 weeks as adults , so they have to get on with what they are put there for .
And also a thankyou to Greenie for the concise explanation correct as usual its nice to know I have such knowledgable and hallowed visitors to the site, and is very much appreciated. Dave.
