Damselfy not a dragonfly

Damselflies (suborder Zygoptera) belong to the order Odonata, meaning "toothed." This refers to their chewing mandibles, which allow them to eat other insects.

Damselflies are long, slender-bodied insects with two pairs of membranous wings. However, unlike dragonflies, their wings are held above the body while at rest. They have three pairs of legs that interlock to form a basket so that they can easily catch flying prey.
