Default Damselflies... show em off here!!!

I took this photo inside 4B's greenhouse. I looked it up and came up with what I thought it was but.... I'm not so sure because there's no documented occurrences of it in her county. Just curious if anyone knows what it is since my ID was probably wrong.

Lousy photos because it was windy but.... even though they suck... this damselfy is so common I'm thinking even folk not into damselflies can peg it.

Another lousy photo because of wind but.... I saw this damselfly up close and that band of green is throwing me for a total loop. Anyone know what this is?

No wind at this site. I loved this photo!!! This should be easy to ID since there's a male and a female in the wheel photo!!!

No wind but.... it was waaaaay too far away for me to get much detail. About all I can tell is it's a spreadwing. If anyone has a guess.... I'd love to know.

Another lousy photo.... not because of wind but because of distance and to boot it's got a weird glare to it. This is a broadwing I don't get to see a lot of around me. There's a similar species that's more common that I do get to see a lot of though.
