Thanks. I've had much less luck with damselflies since moving to Colorado in June, but maybe next summer... Anyway the other insects have been neat.

Cool - thanks Karen! I've updated accordingly. These have been my favorite damselflies for ages, but I didn't know what they were. :)

I think this might be a female Vivid dancer, now that I know what the males look like.
