We had just finished planting about 500 annuls in Memorial park, when this little guy decided to drop in while I was watering in the plants. He was even sweet enough to stay still while I took a couple of photos. This guy is a little damselfly. Im not 100% certain on this, but I have a rule of thumb on the difference between damselflies and Dragonflies. When resting (which is what this little guy is doing), dragonflies lay their wings flat out away from their body, making a crucifix shape. When damselflies rest, they fold their wings back behind themselves, like this little guy is doing. Now it is only a rule of thumb and Im certain there are exceptions to the rule, there always are, but its the only rule I have so far so Im sticking to it.
