hey mario, i'd just like to point out that it's actually a damselfly, not a dragonfly. i could tell by the way they fold their wings - damselflies fold their wings while dragonflies open out theirs. damselflies are also much "slimmer" than dragonflies. their eyes are separated whereas dragonflies' are side by side. :) not sure what species it is though!
