This is a bit OT, but I just saw a bug hanging around the daylillies outside
the door of my office - really NICE bug. 3" long, emerald green head &
thorax, black abdomen, long tail about half the thickness of a toothpick. 4
Black translucent wings, each with a white dot at the tip. No time yet to
google through bug ID sites. Anyone know what it is? I'm in upstate NY.


Sounds like a dragon or damselfly. Or am I being too simple?
