Dragonflies are more common around my pond than the damselflies. I don't know why. Perhaps the damselflies are shyly blending in with the flowers and foliage. I have noticed a few over the years. Their numbers are far fewer than the dragonflies, at least in my garden. Long ago I had a lovely Bonica pink rose. The aphid pest loved this rose. It would regularly attack it. Here is a damselfly gladly helping to get rid of the aphids. It is another example of a beneficial insect in the garden. They love to eat bad bugs.
