Artist's Comments
I am always working on dragonfly designs. I don't think I would get this particular one inked but I do like it nonetheless.
I've had a thing for dragonflies most of my life. I know enough to know that technically what I'm talking about aren't actually dragonflies but damselflies. Most people refer to both as dragonflies (which they are actually both allowed to be called) and no one ever knows what I'm talking about when I say damselfly so dragonfly it is  I have four slight variations of this particular design. The first one I did is actually the best but it's a horrible scan, too smudged and scrappy looking to upload unfortunately and in redrawing it this was as close as I could come to the original *sigh* I may, however, get one of the other variations uploaded at some point. I just need to fiddle around with them a little more first |

So now that you have peaked my curiosity what is the difference between dragonflies and demselflies.
A dragonfly is much stronger at flying and can actually be found quite far from water. It's thicker, it's wings are broader at the base and their back wings are shorter and broader than their front wings. When they're resting their wings are held out rather than folded back. They have two eyes but they are usually touching so it looks almost like they have one large segmented eye.
Here, you can see the differences:
