River Jewelwing: Courtship here on the home creek and pond - Calopteryx aequabilis - Male Female
Pelerin, Kent County, New Brunswick, Canada
June 28, 2011
The first really nice days of summer here have really seen things taking off! I would say the activity level is higher than I have seen it here in a long time, perhaps ever! This pair was one of about five actively engaged in courtship and mating seen along a 25m stretch of the creek and overflow pond that runs in front of our home.

Wow
What a great shot. Are you on flickr?
