Almost, but the one in that picture looks like it has green wings. Maybe
a
different stage, or a fashion issue? :-) But, good web site.

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?

There were several that had clear wings with black dots on the tips.
Just do a google images search on damselflys for more shots.

Whatever it is, it's a nicely designed bug! :-)
