These are really cool. Saw a blue one in the yard yesterday. But didn't stick around long. Nice catch.

Thanks for the comment. I've seen some blue ones now and then but never got a shot.

Damselflies - like dragonflies - are carnivorous {eat insects}, so it is always nice to catch one in such a lovely setting.
