Am I remembering the dress wrong?

I thought the white parts correspond to the blue parts and the gold parts correspond to the black.

This is a bit premature but I think I could vote for Kasich solely based on his budgetary/finance accomplishments.

The use of filters by digital photographers has been declared racist (I am not joking) because it tends to lighten the skin tones. I expect in keeping with the edicts of the BLM/SJW everyone will stop applying them. In fact to be safe, we should just stop taking photographs entirely. Never know when a microaggression occurs, or a trigger warning is needed.

Two more commenters who are smarter than me. Or at least considerably more knowledgable. Ok, smarty pants commenters, what kind of bug is it? It looks to me like the Open The Sardine Can bug.

@David, it is a Common Blue Damselfly. Check the identification here.

As others have noted, it is a common blue damselfly. That is what is commonly known as a "clue." Get it?

Thank you Mr. Smarty Pants. And for the link too.

he common blue damselfly can be easily mistaken for the azure damselfly (Coenagrion puella), but on the back and the thorax, the common blue damselfly has more blue than black; for the azure damselfly it is the other way around.

From Big Mike's l,ink. No wonder I was confused.

Laslo might enjoy the mating technique.
