BLUE-TAILED DAMSELFLY

Had a lovely visitor to my garden today.  A blue-tailed damselfly.  Isn't it beautiful?  Apparently they like to live near pure, unpolluted water.  There is a small dam very near to my home and apart from that, just the remains of rainwater here and there.  It's clinging onto the stem of the Aloha rose and is probably looking for aphids to eat.  They are very beneficial in the garden, so don't kill them, please.
