This little (about 15 mm) Damselfly nymph is blending in and remaining motionless - as if its life depended on it - which it does. Because of their small size, they are on the menu for any larger predator - even a larger damselfly nymph. The three "tails" are actually external gills and are characteristic of damselflies. 5D II, 100 mm macro, 1/160, f/16, ISO 400, MT-24EX macro twin flash (diffused), tripod, cable release. Photo taken in my 2 gallon aquarium setup. I removed many tiny bits of debris from the water and ran NR on the background. All comments are welcome and appreciated.
