More fun with the little blue critters. Not the best light this time, but not too harsh. All taken in aperture priority F5.6, ISO 200 and with the camera set to -1/3 EV (I always under expose a little to boost the color). Minimal post processing, and as always no cropping.

Sometimes they only give me one frame -so I have to make it count...

Not sure about the ID on the first and last shot. Same size and body as the rest, but the top color of the wing is different.
