Often, during Zambezi Cruise and Safarisā wilderness excursions, wildlife enthusiasts strike it lucky and see rarely photographed wildlife or wildlife behaviour. This is because we specialise in creating āmagical land and lake experiencesā. We create possibilities to see truly remarkable wildlife moments by providing wildlife viewing from both the water and the land.
And, the Zambezi River basin is a grand biosphere where sightings of real wildlife gems are as frequent as they are spectacular.
True gems to observe when on safari are these amazing Damselflies called Dancing Jewels (Platycypha caligata to be precise). As the name appropriately indicates, this little aerial insect is a real beauty.
While many of the small creatures can be called āhidden gemsā, this Damselfly truly deserves this title. The Dancing Jewel, especially the female, is hard to see. Females have a dull colour (compared to the maleās electric-blue colour) and prefer to āhideā in the vegetation as opposed to the males which perch out close to water sources where they can be seen by females from a distance.
Platycypha caligata, got its English name, Dancing Jewel, from the way the male ādancesā in front of the female by hanging its legs and wiggling its abdomen, in a way that hints readiness to mate! At least that is how the courtship dance looks to us!
Of course, our Insect and Flower Photography Walks provide perfect opportunities to capture this insect in its natural environment. However, to get stunning pictures of this delightful insect, you need a bit of patience and a fair amount of āPhotographerās Urgeā - loosly defined as "a state of mind oblivious to few outside influences"!
