Hola Bryan, yes, it was taken with the Coolpix. It's definitely not the most efficient tool for this work, because it forces you to get very close. Most of the time the insect escapes, but when it doesn't... imagine the joy of having such a beautiful insect right at your fingertips!

Another damselfly (Calopteryx virgo)…
