I was quite lucky to find a real treasure in my yard! I am not sure what type of dragonfly this is ~ Carla! I was prettty excited to see this winged jewel,which quickly landed to take a rest ~ I hope you will may have just such a thrill, too!
Thanks to Carla ~ THANK YOU! This is an Ebony Jewelwing Damselfly ~ not a dragonfly at all. Thank you so much for your great help, Carla ~ and the ID ME group! B : )
Taken in Raleigh, NC, USA Sony A-55
Featured in the Winged Insects Group, Nature’s Wonders, Bees, Butterflies, etc., The Group, and the Amazing Wildlife Groups ~ Thank you for the great honor and privilege!
I likethis much better than the butterfly. Seems sharper in focus
Thanks, John! The dragonfly was taken with the new camera ~ so I appreciate that! I’ve had a long learning curve with it, that’s for sure ~ jeepers creepers! B : )
Hello! Sorry so late to see… Not a dragonfly but rather…a Damselfly! Try Ebony Jewelwing? maybe…I’m not at home so don’t have my vast home library at my hands…lol
Thanks, Carla! I’ll have to look that up ~ though I am sure you’re right! Take care ~ and thank you for the help, as always! B : )
