Damselflies not Dragonflies.
oh shoot all this time I was always wondering why some of them were way bigger than the others and never thought about what a damselfly was after hearing the name, thank you
It’s not so much the size that tells them apart. Damselflies fold their wings together when they rest while dragonflies always have them out to the sides of their body.
