But
not if you're describing an animal/plant here!!!!!!
There's a clear difference, I think, between someone describing the general appearance of a damselfly flitting over limpid water on a sunny Sunday afternoon (as a bit of atmospheric scene-setting) and someone saying, 'I saw this insect with a blue body, ...... &c, what is it? '.
Neither are "wrong" but if you want to get an insect identified then you need clear, precise and accurate descriptive data.
Why don't you give us a song?
