Weird,
is this the weirdest looking damselfly ever, or just the weirdest I've seen?

They are odd looking
And when you get one in a net, it wriggles around like a small worm.

I
look forward to seeing it. It looks like the other one you photographed.

It came from
the same spot as the first one, so chances are good that it's the same species. Thanks for having a look at it Don.
