(suborder) Zygoptera
Insects in the order Odonata. Damselflies are similar to dragonflies, but the adults can be distinguished by the fact that the wings of most damselflies are held along, and parallel to, the body when at rest. Furthermore, the hindwing of the damselfly is essentially similar to the forewing, while the hindwing of the dragonfly broadens near the base. Damselflies are also usually smaller than dragonflies and weaker fliers in comparison, and their eyes are separated.
I think this is what these are ?? I thought it was a dragonfly but Wiki is saying damselfly, that is if I am looking at the right thing? Can't find anything on habitat? Pretty little creature!

It seems like you have Common Blue Damselfly (Enallagma cyathigerum) both male and female there :)
