Today turned out to be one for enjoying the pleasures of being in the outdoors, be it rain or shine, and simply enjoying nature. And as it turned out, I have added more photos to my collection for dragonflies, damselflies and grasshoppers.
One of the first damselflies I spotted was the Heliocypha biforata.
The Vestalis gracilis. These damselflies were practically everywhere today!
The Vestalis gracilis, up close.
A very young, teneral dragonly.
I had assumed it to be the Orthetrum sabina but I stand corrected. It is the teneral dragonfly of the Gomphidae family.

Thanks to dragonflyman for pointing it out.
Due to its large size, this is likely an exuvia of a dragonfly.
I was thinking... a stone carving that looks like this would be strangely fascinating as the centrepiece in a garden.
A grasshopper feeding on a leaf...
Also came across a snake, but that will be the story for another day.....
