Dragonflies and Damselflies

[Noreaster]

Normally, dragons and damsels lay their eggs into the water or plants. And not as a batch.
My first guess would be parasites, mites.
Can you post reasonably sharp crops?

BTW I just started with ObsIdentify - and found it doesn't cover all the world. Started with juvenile bird (Java Sparrow) in order to see if it makes mistakes and to figure out why... It ID it as an European Green finch (75%).
In other words I can't use it in Hawaii

Sorry for you.
But it is mentioned in its description that it'll work only in Europe and former Dutch Caribbean, and only for wild animals.
The organization behind it is Dutch based.

That's true but I did read the description after-fact
