Bluet, mountain, creeping thyme leaf many names very similar flowers. Houstonia serplifolia native to eastern and southern US mainly in the central and southern Appalachian mountains. All parts of the plant are edible. Flowers, buds and leaves. The plant has a garlic flavor with a hint of mustard.

Familiar bluet damselfly, on an oyster shell.

While damselflies can fold their wings back along their bodies, dragonflies never do. Or so I learned, somewhere on Mastodon.
