Every time I wait until late in the afternoon I am rewarded with beautiful and interesting bugs. Check out the mites on this little damsel fly (click on for a close look). And then, the first person who can accurately identify the little elephant nosed bug will win a signed photograph and a cup of coffee.
One possible suggestion is dryopthorus americanus, also known as a weevil.

Terrific photos!
I think it is a dragonfly because of its long tail.
