Rambur's Forktail

Ischnura ramburii

Notes:

Very interesting damselfly--green body with blue "tail." May be different individuals, but they definitely are the same type.

Eastern and Rambur's are very similar, but Eastern are less common (at least here in Georgia). Eastern have more blue on the abdominal segments than Rambur's.

How do I tell the difference between the Eastern Forktail, and Rambur's Forktail?
