I like this neat flower, and I think that is a hover fly.

Not sure what kind of dragonfly this is but I love the colors.
Best Regards, Bob

Wonderful photograph. This is I believe is a Damselfly. You can tell by its size and the blue colored specks that it is a female. I could be wrong.

Thnx for posting.

I was of the understanding that Damselflies are a separate, but still related suborder of Odonata [Dragonflies]
