It's a Robberfly, family Asilidae in the order Diptera. They are very distantly related to Dragonflies and Damselflies, order Odonata. Nicely captured.

I always have trouble too! I thought the dragonfly had larger wings than the damsel but not too sure. Beautiful colours!

Damselflies have all four wings attached at the same spot. Dragonflies have two sets of wings, one behind the other.
