All around the little lake in Kearny, Arizona were dragonflies and Damselflies. They varied in size from small to large, and they were harder to sneak up on than the birds. This one was very small.
After learning what this guys name is I found this over at Wikipedia.org. Damselflies (suborder Zygoptera) are insects in the order Odonata. Damselflies are similar to dragonflies, but the adults can be differentiated by the fact that the wings of most damselflies are held along, and parallel to, the body when at rest. Furthermore, the hindwing of the damselfly is essentially similar to the forewing, while the hindwing of the dragonfly broadens near the base, caudal to the connecting point at the body. Damselflies are also usually smaller, weaker fliers than dragonflies, and their eyes are separated.
