What do I win, thanks btom.

 

[Rocky]

Not to pick fly crap out of the pepper, but I believe that is a damselfly, not a dragonfly.

Tuff frigin crowd, ok Rocky but can you tell if its male or female

 

[Rocky]

TJ, based on size alone, I am going with female. They are normally smaller than the male and that one looks tiny. They eat mites and spiders so that ornamental grass is a perfect feeding place.

Ok I say Rocky wins this one. I mean its not a dragonfly right.

I should get some credit because I even seen it on a iphone screen.

TJ, you get all the credit! I had a heck of a time finding it on a 22" desktop screen!

How weird, I never see these and I just now took the picture. Not sure it was a dragonfly or a damsel fly so I'll leave that part blank, dont want Rock busting my stones for a slight identification mix up. I couldn't get a look of the color that little bugger was to quick.

 

[Rocky]

TJ, two of the best identifiers are the size (damsels are smaller) and how they hold their wings when they perch. A damsel keeps its wings back along its body and a dragon fly's wings are held perpendicualr to the body. I can't tell from the picture for sure, but it appears from the shadow that the wings are along the body, ergo a damselfly.

I love it, yeah I'm pretty sure the wings was right up to the body. Thanks for teaching me something new Rocky, how freakin ironic, I promise that picture was taken right out my backdoor minutes before posting it.

Here's a larger pic.

I must say the cameras of today are something else. That thing was so small it was vertually invisable. I saw this blue thing floating in air, as I could not see any wings...guess they move too fast. I went to take a picture of it and could not even see it in the viewfinder. I took shot anyway and low and behold it was captured in the picture.
