Damselfly - Familiar Bluet

Gloria P: yet another damsel(fly) to be rescued, but no knight in shining armor is available.  Today was another 80F/27C day, and as it may be the last really warm day this year went looking for dragonflies and damselflies.

The familiar bluet damselfly is so tiny the camera autofocus system could not lock onto it, so focused on the plant to which it clung and hoped for the best.  It's movements are fascinating, as it moves up, down, and sideways in right angles.

Familiar bluet is widespread, living near ponds, lakes, and slow streams in southern Canada, the U.S., Mexico, and through northern South America.
