A male splendid green damselfly waiting to meet his mating prospect
A male splendid green damselfly, neurobasis chinensis, waits on a rock to see any opportunity to meet female. This is a typical habitat of splendid green damselfly, a stream in a dense forest is important for either gender. Due to the dim environment, the reflection of trees creates a special image of the stream. The reflection is surreal, like storm clouds or stormy sky but the whole thing is down on the ground level with a rock.
