A big fly type insect. Looks like a giant mosquito with a long thin tail, resembling bamboo. . It's about 2 1/2 inches long.

@whatisnew would most likely know what this is....

This looks like a slender_spreadwing_male Damselfly. According to https://onnaturemagazine.com/slender_spreadwing_male_gary_yankech_cc_by-nc_2-0_540

That is definitely a Damselfly. It is great to see the wings in your photo. I don't see many damselflies and when I do, their wings are never spread out like this. A giant mosquito? No way. LOL! Damselflies are so cool looking. : ) Thanks for using #insectpub tag Mike. : )

Thanks for shinning the light on bugs... :-)

What a nice comment. Thanks Mike! : )
