A tiny, exquisite jewel which is I believe, a bluetail damselfly - Ischnura heterosticta, the largest of the Ischnura species here in Australia.
They are generally found near slow-running or still water during the warmer months of the year.
I believe this is a male, although I understand females have been found with form and colourings very similar to the males.
Around 35 mm length.

Last day of Moth week. I thought this funky guy would be a great ending shot. I still have more to share but will just mix them in with my other shots in the future.
I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D
Abaeis nicippe.
Males are usually encountered in two's or three's, imbibing moisture from damp ground. Females are more often seen nectaring at flowers along roadsides, or exploring sunny wood edge habitats in search of egg-laying sites. The flight is fluttery but fairly rapid, and close to the ground.
Abaeis nicippe is found from the southern states of the USA to Costa Rica.
