Actually it's two dragonflies. The first one I saw flitting around in Julie's garden at her house. He had a rather shiny body but his wings are almost invisible against the greenery.
This one was spotted at a local nursery and it was sitting pretty at the very tip of a leaf. This one is a lot brighter in color than the first one. His wings stand out a lot more.
Two insects, miles apart doing pretty much the same thing!

What a beautiful photos you made!
Those gossamer wings are so beautiful!
I' impressed that they sat still for you, Sharon! Wonderful creatures!
Aren't they gorgeous, absolutely a star of the insect family 🌟 beautifully captured here Sharon.
Great macros of these two!
They are beautiful in your photos !
That's what they do -- sit at the very tip of leaves and rushes, waiting for prey. (Smaller insects, not us!)
What an incredible, visible testament to the diversity of nature. Beautiful creatures wondrously photographed. Well done, Sharon!
So pretty. Like little flying jewels.
They are gorgeous, Sharon. I never seen dragonflies up close, you showed them well.
Great shot!
You do such a good job of photographing up close.
