Familiar bluet

The Familiar Bluet is a member of the narrow-winged damselfly family (Coenagrionidae). Most North American damselflies belong to this family. These small insects, 1-2" long, are brightly colored with usually clear wings, which they hold together vertically over their bodies when at rest. Unlike broad-winged damselflies, narrow-winged damselflies have wings so narrow at the base that they appear stalked. In most species males are more brightly colored than females.
