Thanks LauraMaria. :) These damselflies do have an awfully high cute factor...
LauraMaria
Wow, vivid is definitely the right word here! What a shade of blue... excellent photo, textless! He looks like he's looking out in the distance for someone... cute!

You're welcome textless!

Thanks for the ID, KarenL! I believe it works for a couple of my other damselflies too.

Maybe he is saluting because he is the state insect of Nevada!

I knew what you meant, Ashish. :) But here PT could also stand for physical therapy... and either way it kind of works for the damselfly's pose.

Ranger Nimkar, P.T is known as P.E out here. P.E is short form for physical education.

Haha... Look to be doing PT lesson.... :)

Thanks! I especially liked this damselfly because it looked like it was saluting or wiping its brow. Not that it has a brow, exactly. :)
