      Thanks1 My husband's pic :-) They were very difficult to photograph because they would only emerge for a few seconds and then dipe-dvied back in the pond every time! i think this is the best pic we could get from them :-)
      I have another of a female made by me that I may post later. Here I think this is a male with a more colorful and big tail.       Posted 3 years ago
