Lovely series. The moth is a micro- moth - looks similar to one I captured a while ago pretending to be a rocket.

Your Damselfly in picture #1 looks very similar to one that I captured not that long ago. You can go here and see if you agree. I believe it to be a "Lyre-tipped Spreadwing" (Lestes unguiculatus).
Great captures by the way!

Shot two looks like one of the bluetailed female variants ischnura elegans (infuscans). Nice damselfly shots.
