You don’t get it too often: to be there at the right time to capture such a lovely shot. A love moment for the damselflies and lovely moment for the photographer, Mark Bridger, who managed to capture the perfect moment at Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve.
Looking like an arrow striking the heart, the picture looks so much like the iconic symbol for love that amateur snapper Mr Bridger, 43, has dubbed it ‘Cupid’s arrow’.
Funny enough, he took the pictures by accident last summer: ‘I showed my wife and she said, “That’s funny, it looks like Cupid’s arrow”.’
Damselflies are similar to dragonflies, but the adults are distinguishable by their wings, which are held parallel to the body when at rest.

Before damselflies copulate, groups of males and females spend time in physical contact in an attempt to assess their potential mate.
Field studies have also shown that the females discriminate among males based on their shape and size.
