"Gord Stephan" expounded:

I found it in my garden and did not appear to be doing any harm. Just sat
there while I took pictures.

It looks like one of the Emerald dragonflies. Odonata are one of my
favorite things to watch, there was one in my brother's backyard the
other day that was huge, at least a 6" wingspan.
