Field Notes

Description:

Adult male Azure damselflies have a head and thorax patterned with blue and black. They have an azure blue abdomen patterned with black markings. The marking on the second segment of the abdomen is U-shaped, separated from the segment's narrow terminal black band.

Habitat:

near water

Notes:

I spotted this at Baden Powell park. I'm not 100% sure on the species. Looks very similar to Northern Bluet (Enallagma cyathigerum).
