Our visitor ...

... yesterday wasn't a 'baby' dragonfly after all. Thanks to Gill for suggesting a Google ... and her name for it ... I've found out that it was actually a damselfly, probably a common blue (has to be common 'cos we can't have anything rare *LOL*). Anyway, that explains why it was tiny 'cos damselflies are smaller than dragonflies. They also have their wings folded against their body when at rest whereas dragonflies hold them at right angles. Had it been a dragonfly, as I thought it was, I would have stood a good chance of a piccie with its wings open.

Glad to have got the right info and .... why didn't I think of Googling in the first place. It's my second home - *hehe!*

Thanks for dropping by .....
