That -- Devil's darning needle -- is one of the local names hereabouts for what I usually call a Dragonfly, This one didn't stay still long enough for me to move a little to get all of him in the picture. Oh well. I got most of him. The first name I remember knowing was Horsestinger and that's what all the kids in my mid-1950s neighbourhood called them -- until one of the kids pointed out "They don't sting horses!" So then I heard the name I continue to use mostly, Dragonfly. No one bothered to say there were no dragons. We all understood metaphor.
