While insects are part of this snake's diet, this individual seemed quite content to allow a blue-tipped damselfly to rest on different parts of its body, including its head! The damselfly finally flew off and the snake left its sunny spot for another part of the forest.

Thank you - it was the first time I came across something like this and it was really surprising!
Awesome capture Maria! I've certainly never seen this type of situation before:)
