This afternoon I was taking photos of flowers in my yard, just using my phone.

As I was taking a picture of sedum blooms I noticed something looked "different":

Can you see what caught my eye?

I believe it's a damselfly. And it let me get closer, close enough to get a decent picture.

It's about 1".

It's a damselfly. Dragonflies hold their wings out when resting, damsels fold their wings

That's pretty!

My former neighbor (who recently moved) brought that from Thailand as a seed and grew it. It's really pretty, but it's also very messy. It will drop all those flowers in 2 weeks or so, and also drops all its leaves in the fall, They all blow up into my front door area due to the prevailing winds.
