Day 162
When you have a yard filled with all sorts of plants that are growing and a small pond, you receive many insect/bug visitors.
This couple I found is called the Damsel Fly, a relative of the Dragon Fly. The Dragon Fly has larger eyes and double wings that stay open. The Damsel can fold up its wings next to its body. There are many types of Damsel Flies and they are in every continent in the world but Antarctica.

~Update~ George the Baby crow. (yesterday's photo challenge) Yes we named him/her George! George, spent the night in our comfortable wood pile, with mom nearby keeping an eye on her youngster. This morning they left us for a nursery with more bugs! ~
Have a wonderful day!
Thank you for checking out my photo!

"The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it." ~ Peter Pan
Strictly from a linguistic perspective, the line between bugs and insects is fuzzy. With the warmer weather one can expect to see critters that fly, bite, and scuttle about in and around our gardens. The two words are used interchangeably, with insects appearing mostly in scientific contexts and bugs being used more casually, but the difference between the terms comes down to more than just semantics. All bugs are insects, but under the technical definition, not all insects are bugs; however both are recognized in the animal kingdom by science. Still confused? Some insects with “bug” in their name are not actually true bugs (ladybugs and June bugs) they are both beetles.
