This is a Narrow-winged Damselflies (also called a powdered dancer). Sadly the blues did not come out very well. That is sad becasue it was the blue that really attracted me to this beautiful creature.
This is why we both take cameras on our hikes .. check out the second photo. Teresa shot this one. I didn't edit it much ... so much color. I love this photo.

Bug time. The top photo is a male Blue-fronted Dancer, a species of Narrow-winged damselflies.
The second photo is also a male. This is a Eastern Pond Hawk, a species of skimmer.
They both have some amazing eyes. The color is amazing ... nature does blue very well.
