Spent some time hanging out with some blue #damselflies at the lake before coming back home 😊

Damselflies have existed since the Late #Jurassic period & found on every continent except Antarctica. Presence of damselflies & the larger dragonflies, indicates a healthy #ecosystem.

Several blue damselflies, perched on & flying around water lily leaves.
