| 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. |

| 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.... |
