I didn't know there were dragonflies and damelflies. Thanks for the tip, I have two spotings of this type and I have updated both.

Veneta, that's a damselfly. You can tell the difference between a damselfly and a dragonfly by the way their wings are arranged at rest. Dragonflies' wings are not held parallel to the body.
