You got a great photo of a strange creature Nikola. Nice background also.

I like the shot, however it is not a damsel fly. It is an antlion or related.

Thank you for help in getting ID. I was pretty sure it wasn't damselfly judging by the body parts and shape. It must be some kind of Antlion (Ant - Lion

) or something very close.

Thank you Doug. I sow it last year and summer before but never close enough like this time to get a nice photo.
