Dragon Bee

[Moose]

Confused you didn't I Here are some Pics of a Dragon Fly my Love would lie identified. I said it was a dragon fly but that didn't fly . Also a pic of a bee in our Sedom ever try to take a pic of a bee with a point and shoot? This is the best I could do after about 100 clicks. I think I need a DSLR. When are they going to make them smaller? By the way C&C is always welcome.

I like that second image and the bee shot has a nice mix of color.

Moose, the fist images are of a damselfly, but I don't have my field guides with me this week so I can't ID it for you. If Jonny Redhorse looks in, I believe he has the same field guide I do to northwoods damselflies, so maybe he or someone else can help you on it.

Nice images Tim!...What you have there is a "Familiar Bluet" damsel fly(ID'd from my field guide "Dragonflies of the North Woods", by Kurt Mead as Steve mentioned...quite common in these parts of northern Minnesota....lots of these little guys by my home here also....there are a few other varieties of these damselflies and come in some rather unusual colors....reds,blues, light lime green...neat little creatures for sure!
