Field Notes

Description:

The male is a dark-colored damselfly that develops extensive pruinosity as it matures. (Pruinosity is a waxy, light-colored substance that builds up on a damselfly's body, obscuring whatever coloration lies beneath.)
The male has a wide, dark shoulder stripe. Females may be either brown or blue. The blue forms become gray at cool temperatures.

Habitat:

Riparian woodland below Belton Lake Dam.
