Thank you. That is indeed the same thing. :-)
The older/larger ones seemed more colorful.
Thank you! That looks to be the exact creature. There were so many of them!
Really? How can you tell? This is the first time I have seen one in person.
Oh no! You are right, I identified this incorrectly. This does look like a leaf-footed bug. I understand they are harmful to the garden and are in the squash bug family.
Thanks for your help! This does look like some sort of bluet. I cannot find a good damselfly identification tool online and many of them look so similar.
This was taken with a Canon S5 IS in Macro.
It is a hairstreak, but I will have to catch one with its wings open to determine which type. It is extremely skittish!
Thank you. All the photos I see of the hairstreaks show a fuzzy body and he isn't fuzzy. Am I looking in the wrong place?
