Thank you all for your comments. The first and sixth insects are damselflies. They look the same as dragonflies but they are smaller and more delicate-looking. The main difference between these two insects is the way they hold their wings. A dragonfly will rest with its wings spread out whereas a damselfly will hold their wings behind them, parallel with the rest of their body. LOved reading your comments. Have a lovey week!
Glory be to God for dappled things- For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow; For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim; Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings; Landscape plotted and pieced--fold, fallow, and plough; And all trades, their gear and tackle and trim. All things counter, original, spare, strange; Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?) With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim; He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change: Praise him. Gerard Manley Hopkins

Tiny wonders never fail to amaze me!
Sometimes you do need a picture before you can truly appreciate insects. They are so small and easily overlooked!
You captured the translucence, the irridesence, and the spirit. So delicate and yet so mighty - indeed creatures of a blessed world
Love those dragonflies!
What sweet little insects. The first one of the dragonfly is very pretty.

It is the wonder of garden photography that showcases the beauty of creatures this tiny.
