    Yes.
    I can't get over the bright red eyes. They all seam to have eyes the same colour as their bodies except the Red-eyed Damsel fly. He's blue , she's green and they both have red eyes

    The definition is great in your photo, Beryl!

    It's not so good in this pic - but look at what they were getting up to yesterday!
