Smallest Dragonfly in the U.S.

I might have seen this guy at my pond today. He was so small, I had a hard time to be sure he really WAS a dragonfly / damselfly.

Thank GOODNESS I got rid of the salt in my water - already I've seen two dragonflies, and I think the fresher water is more attractive to them than the salted water I had last year.

Its as cute as a bug....no, just kidding.  Dragonflies are my favorite thing about ponds, next to the fish and lilies...I have all kinds of things with dragonflies on them.

That's fantastic. i love dragonflies. Some of them have the most incredible colours they look great around a pond. The larva will eat fish fry, but its a small price to pay for a flying jewel. Besides they also eat mosquitoes.
