The female is light blue-gray with black markings. This girl was cleaning herself up and being a great model! The male can be seen at my other spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7042332

Gazania plants in backyard. Western USA.

Notes:

"They are commonly known as Dancers. Although the genus name comes from Ancient Greek: ἀργία argia "laziness", dancers are quite active and alert damselflies" - Wikipedia
