d'flies

This is one of the dragonflies that frequent my garden.

Why?

There must be a lot of food here.

Damselflies don't come here though they don't live very far away.

They hang around the watershed which is about 150m from here.

Damselflies are similar to dragonflies but smaller, slimmer and weaker.
Their eyes which are separated reminds me of the praying mantis and also Sid of Ice Age.

Unlike the dragon flies, they fold their wings up over their back.

There were many damselflies but I only managed to capture a blue and a black one after getting my shoes all muddy and wet.

Comparatively, dragonflies are a lot more cooperative during photo shooting. 

They stay on dry ground and keep still.

Except for the first photo, the rest were found at the Watershed after the Heron flew off.
