After viewing images of the two I'm inclined to stick to the amaryllis!

Thanks for identifying.

Marl's suggestion of atropha is good too. I went for amaryllis because of the lack of color on the abdomen. You can see both species and other similar in the following link, to make up your own mind :)

Might be Vestalis atropha.

That's a lovely damselfly. Nice green on the thorax.
