actually, it’s a Libellula pulchella (Twelve-spotted Skimmer)… what i discovered between the time i submitted the photo and the time it actually shows up…
in review, it’s a libellula pulchella that while CAPABLE of flight, is in fact perched upon a cedar tree. Lets see who wants to break this one down further…
No, it’s a skimmer, and you got dragons and damsels mixed up. The latter fold their wings up straight up from their thorax. Dragonflies and skimmers, like this one, hold them straight out.

actually, it’s a damselfly. dragonflies hold their wings at 90 degree angles to their body, and damselflies hold their wings paralell to their body.
