I love damselflies and I am glad to have them in my garden too.
These are beautiful pictures, unfortunately, their original sizes played merry hell with the site so I had to resize them. Note to reader submissions -- if the pictures have an odd number of pixels in any direction, they do not work so well with FtB, for whatever reason.

These are badass looking damselflies with their metallic purple/red thorax and abdomen and black wings.

@ Jazzlet : Is that the common name for the species here? I couldn’t find it on wikipedia anyhow. Does any know the zoologicla name for this one and have more info about it? Any entomologists here please?
In any case, marvellous photos and superb detail captured. Thanks. :-)

StevoR,
Not an entomologist, but I think this is Calopteryx haemorrhoidalis.
