My first Damselfly of the year

[Brachytron]

Well, at long last my dragonfly season has started when I managed to find four emerging Large Red Damselflies. This is a female sitting below its exuvia, which is its larval skin. I found it too late to get the full emergence sequence though, so will try again. Thanks for looking.
