A damselfly, but probably impossible to identify the species. Need a sharper image.

I thought it might have been too blurred. Is it best to delete the sighting and try again another time?

Hi Mike, it does provide evidence that damselflies are present at this dam on Isaacs Ridge. I'll leave it to the website administrators to decide whether to keep the sighting.

It is undoubtedly a Lestid 'ringtail' (Family Lestidae), and most likely a Wandering Ringtail Austrolestes leda, but the blurriness of the images make it impossible to be definitive.
