    Looks nice, Ben!

    But from the way that creature’s wings are folded, I can tell you for sure that it’s a damselfly and not a dragonfly.

    Dragonflies can’t fold their wings over their abdomens like that, and when they’re at rest they look more like, y’know, biplanes or whatever: basically like the way they look in flight.

    @Isaac – Thanks for catching that! I corrected the title. Good thing they both start with “D.”
