Rajib,

Interesting species of Damsel Fly. All dragon flies and damsel flies with wings are adults. The juvenile stages (stadia) are aquatic until they emerge from the water where they developed from egg through several larval stages. When ready to put on their adult cloak of beauty and grace, they crawl out of the water onto an object, where they undergo a pupal metamorphosis and emerge as you see this beauty here. Just for your information, you should try to push your f/stop up to shoot insects. With a stationary subject like this, you could have got away with an f/11, dropping the shutter speed down to 1/60 of a second or so. Below 1/60 you should probably use a tripod. TFS
