At higher water levels, no problem.

I’ve got photos of F juvenilis climbing up a four foot water falls that spans a stream. And even getting onto an adjacent field to get around it. Not just one crayfish, but hundreds of them.

“PN”, “DMs”! Really? Am I supposed to learn a new language just to read these these posts? Acronyms are destroying our language.

Close-up macro photograph of an Argia fumipennis damselfly resting comfortably on the edge of a fresh, vibrant green leaf. The damselfly stares directly toward the viewer, showcasing its striking features clearly. Its large, bulbous compound eyes have a mesmerizing gradient from deep purple to dark indigo, reflecting tiny specks of light. Between its eyes, small delicate hairs sprout upwards, adding intricate detail to its face. The slender body is a brilliant combination of rich purples, blues, and hints of lavender, highlighting the damselfly’s elegant build. Its translucent wings, partially blurred by shallow depth of field, stretch back out of focus, giving a sense of graceful movement even in stillness. The legs, sharply in focus, are thin yet sturdy, gently gripping the leaf’s edge. The background transitions softly from bright green near the leaf to a deep, dark gradient, emphasizing the damselfly’s vivid colors and textures.

Argia fumipennis that decided to pose nicely for me. Damselflies have such striking colors, it's a shame most people never see them up close. Magnification, I find, is a wonderful to to convert people over to the beauty of insects.
