I found this Dragon Fly washed up on the beach. I picked it up and it held onto my finger for about 30 minutes until I put it on a tree branch.

Hi Jackie, thanks for your information. She seemed ok when I held her up to the tree branch, she climbed on and held herself steady so I think she recovered.
