Bob H and I were hunting for Tiburon Mariposa Lilies on Ring Mountain, in Tiburon, this morning, when this frisky Damselfly kept popping up on the trail in front of us. We finally got the message - it wanted its picture taken. Looking in my Audubon insect guide Iearned that it was one of three species of Bluets, an appropriate name. Damselflies are similar to dragonflies but the adults can be differentiated by the fact that the wings of most damselflies are held along, and parallel to, the body when at rest. Don't feel bad, I didn't know that either!
And yes, we did find a couple of the extremely rare Lilies. Maybe tomorrow!
