Erythemis simplicicollis
Primarily ponds. Adults often perch on the ground, and are quite unwary. From Ron Hemberger and Dragonflies through Binoculars(1): “Habitat: Most quiet waters…including slightly brackish waters but not bogs. Usually associated with mats of algae, duckweed, water lilies, or other flat, floating plants.”
This is a picture of a young male that has begun to turn into the adult blue color of males.
