Boy, did i get a surprise, not only were there quite a few damsels still around, but i had my best damselfly day ever -- 16 species identified, 2 additional critters that i think may be different [i have concluded that one of these is Aztec Dancer; the other may be a variation on what i'm calling Leonora's Dancer, it's from the same location, photos posted below], but i have no clue what they are. all were photographed. i also had five dragonfly species which is more than i've had in Kerr County in almost a month.</div> <bR> <div> South Fork, Guadalupe River (Lynxhaven Crossing, South Fork
