Is that your knapweed adjacent to the subject, Jacksparrow ?

It's the same Damselfly but this time with wings spread rather than at rest. That is not my official Knapweed. I hadn't noticed it until I took the photo. :shake:

Well OK, it's your unofficial knapweed. What's the droopy-headed thingy upon which the damselfly perches ??

The Damselfly was on the Everlasting Pea. The flowerheads droop until the top flowers start to bloom.
