There are so many different types here. I love them all. Each and every one is so unique! Thank you Jellis for your suggestions and comments!

But this maybe a Rambur's Forktail

I'm still learning. If you were to see the side angle you can see if the wings are folded above the body (Dancer) or against the body (bluet) for most of the dasmelflies. But after that it sometimes takes an expert to know which species. Females I learned are nearly impossible
