Donât ask me why I photography berries, because I canât tell you. Just know that when I come across wild berries, as I am out walking around, I enjoy photographing them.

All summer, I have been searching for a Dragonfly to photograph. Last Sunday I spotted this little guy, feeding on an Apple tree, in my yard.
Damselfly (Lestidae Speedwing)
However, not a Dragonfly, instead a Damselfly!
Damselfly (Lestidae Speedwing)
Based on photos, I have researched on the Web, I think it is a Lestidae  Speedwing Damselfly.
Damselflies (Lestidae Speedwing)
You ask!
Whatâs the difference between Dragonfly and Damselfly?
– Both dragonflies and damselflies evolved before 300 million years, and are living fossils and have carnivorous food habits.
Â
– Dragonflies are slightly larger, and have abdomens that are sturdy and short. But, damselflies are little smaller, and the abdomens are long and slender.
Â
– Dragonflies keep their wings directed downwards or horizontally positioned, whereas damselflies keep them closed and upwards.
Â
– Additionally, the two pairs of wings in dragonflies are dissimilar, while those of damselflies are similar.
Â
– Eyes are closely located in dragonfly, while those are apart from each other in damselflies.
It was most enjoyable capturing these images, of this Red Admiral Butterfly, early this morning.  I had a narrow, clear window between the foliage to take the photos.

I was slowly climbing over rocks trying to get closer; I didnât want to disturb it too much.
