Saturday Otley

Think this is a Common Blue Damselfly
Emerald Damsel at Otley.


Plenty of these Grasshoppers about at Otley.


I think this is a Common Darter damsel, there were dozens at Otley Wetlands Saturday probably new emerged, non seemed to be mature males.



The once rare in the north of England, Comma, now common in my garden.

Hi,

Your damselfly and dragonfly id's are correct, except the Common Darter is a dragonfly not a damsel.
The grasshopper is a Common Field Grasshopper...I think. A decent pic from above will usually confirm the id of grasshoppers due to the distinctive markings on the pronutum.
