User's notes

This insect had a blueish tinge and wings and looked like a species of dragonfly or damselfly.

The length of the abdomen doesn't really fit a damselfly. Maybe an owl fly?

Suggestion of species made to move out of dragons and damsels to something maybe more appropriate. Hope another mod can figure out where it fits.
