- Support - Great capture! A remark about the file description, though: The first sentence, referring to climbing out of the water, doesn't seem relevant to this photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:01, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
- Why? The nymph has its entire life in water and has to come out and climb on something. Usually it will be a plant growing inside or on the bank. Here it is on the bank and all the mud we can see on the exuviae proves it struggled a lot to reach here. Jee 02:39, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
- I guess I wasn't really thinking straight. You're right; it's relevant. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:59, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

- Support Great capture, indeed. This a somewhat rare moment, the one just after the imago (fully developed damselfly) has extracted itself from the exuvia, being still attached to it. --Cayambe (talk) 09:58, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

- Comment Again Jee, I find the flash reflections are not helpful. Surely direct flash is not needed for this type of daytime static image. Charles (talk) 15:16, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
- Sure; flash has some issues. But I think it is better to use it until we have an excellent camera which has a high ISO performance. Otherwise we are loosing simple moments. Jee 17:06, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
