Dragonfly chillin' on my citrus tree while I worked in the yard....

Been lurking here awhile, first try for a minimalist shot. Hope y'all like it!

While I was working in my yard, this guy was chillin' in my citrus tree. So cool!

I don't know much about mycology but have learned and become more conscious since lurking here. Hadn't seen anything like this in my yard the past 10 years, nor in this sub.

Found today in the rocky part of my plumeria beds in SW Florida, U.S. Approx 2-3 in (5-7.5 cm) tall. Soil around the beds is sandy and has grass growing, but the stone part is verrry rocky, as if every past owner kept putting rocks on top. It's impossible to dig, which is why I'm surprised to see mushrooms there. There were some dead plumeria leaves around them, if that matters, and it's been raining the past few days but there's no standing water.

Hope these pics are helpful enough for an ID. Thanks, y'all!

Do either of these work? She originally wanted family (I'm the Auntie) in pastels but then relented and said we can wear colors we're comfortable in (thankfully!). Although I bought the 1st A-line dress (and like it/feel comfy in), I fear it is too short with heels? Can still return.

So weird that they were swarming 2 weeks ago (as per usual), and disappeared (also typical), but have now returned, and, in force. My husband grew up here (55 yrs) and doesn't recall there being recurrences, nor seeing them swarm plant life (only structures and cars).
