I'm going with Damsel Fly. Good to have around, they eat aphids and mosquitoes.
Did I win? Did I win?

YES....you did win Jack! It is a damsel fly! They are one of my all time favorites...BEAUTIFUL!! And VERY beneficial to have around too.

First time we have had one in our yard. The picture really doesn't do him justice. He has the most beautiful turquoise blue body.

Thats a cool bug. Anything that eats misquitos deserves its own bug home. I've never seen one of those up here. :(

Nice pic...but shouldn't we be using the "Conversation" side for ID'ing bugs..???? (not GJ, is it? & it bumps off some GJ posts at the bottom) I love anything that eats mosq. too! Jeanne S.

Was this a challenge for Marlene to create a GJ Damsel fly? If anyone is up to the challenge it would be Marlene!

Good Idea Max! Marlene are you and DH up to the challenge?????

Maybe....I'll consult the welder and see what we can do!

Kewl! Can't wait to see what you two come up with.

I LOVE to see the bugs--
I brought some walking sticks, preying mantis and some
other things home with me from Indiana. A couple of them have done well.....
BUT I agree with Jeanne--on the conversation side....
