The Rambur's Forktail (Ischnura ramburii) is a damselfly of slow streams and quiet ponds and marshes in the southern U.S. The photo immediately below was a digital capture of a male near Bee Cave, Travis Co., Texas in June, 2003, and was shot with a Canon EOS 10D and EF 300 mm F/4 L IS lens with a 1.4 extender and 550 EX flash. The next photo shows a male Rambur's as it eats a prey item in Travis Co., Texas in June 2003. That image was taken with the same camera as above but with an EF 180mm F/3.5 Macro and 1.4X extender. The next shot shows an orange-form female Rambur's shot in Lee Co., Texas in September 2003 with the same equipment as the top photo. Scroll down for other images and captions.
