First time snapping a damselfly

I was looking for birds but found a cute little dragonfly damselfly (Edit: thanks Unframed Dave for the correction)

For information, that's a damselfly. Easy to tell the difference, dragons have their wings out to the side when resting, damsels alongside their body as in your photo.

A tonne of these blokes are always sitting on my tree in the backyard.

Good source of protein!

I love these tiny little guys! I’ve got dozens of shots of it with, for the most part, out of focus in the bokeh cloud.

You’ve got the right approach! I’ll try that!

Thanks for the info. I did think mine looked a little different than some other fine photos in this category
