. In this snapshot taken by Bernard Castelein, we witness a truly enchanting moment in nature's love story. A pair of Blue-tailed damselflies, known scientifically as Ischnura elegans, are caught red-handed (or should we say blue-tailed?) engaging in an intimate act of mating atop a delicate stem. Brasschaat, Belgium serves as the backdrop for this romantic rendezvous, with August providing the perfect ambiance for these winged lovers to unite. Their vibrant azure bodies stand out against the lush greenery surrounding them, creating a breathtaking sight that leaves us all awe-inspired.
