Damselflies are insects of the suborder Zygoptera in the order Odonata. They are similar to dragonflies, which constitute the other odonatan suborder, Anisoptera, but are smaller and have slimmer bodies. Most species fold the wings along the body when at rest, unlike dragonflies which hold the wings flat and away from the body. An ancient group, damselflies have existed since at least the Lower Permian, and are found on every continent except Antarctica.

I appreciate all those lovely little insects out there, living their lives happily oblivious of our activities. Yet once in awhile we can see that perhaps it is we humans that are missing all of their artistic efforts.

This has been such a great year for flowers.

Thanks to all who have visited, commented or faved my photos. It is very much appreciated.

And one more katydid nymph, this time riding a salvia flower. Discouraging that the gardens don't seem to have as many other insects this summer - quite a few of these though...

Seen on the meadow, near the forest. I have no idea what it can be. Maybe someone know?
