Pic #7 A nice Blue Damselfly i rescued from under the back porch.
Pic #8 - we've got a visitor in the house at the moment , he can stay as long as he stays up high near the cornice , when they start hanging around the light switches in the dark they tend to get ejected outside ( not good for an old mans heart ) 11/12/22 .
