Very slender body, two translucent wings, each
with a white spot. Stands on leaves for hours.
Never seen more than one in the garden, at a time.

Alan,

It's most definitely a Damselfly. Depending on where you are
geographically it may be a Demoiselle. Damselflies spend most of their
time as entirely aquatic nymphs but emerge for a brief adult phase when
they devour huge numbers of smaller flying insects.

They also spend long periods sunbathing (particularly in the early
mornings) to build up their body temperatures for flight and will be
more or less dormant in the shelter of trees and shrubs on cool,
overcast or rainy days.

Gee, that sure sounds like my ex.... no could spend more time in the
terlit. LOL
