Damselfly

I just took a class on the D&D of Huntley Meadows Park. The following Web site is a very good resource: The Dragonflies and Damselflies of NJ http://www.njodes.com/default.htm As it turns out, most (if not all) of the same species of D&D are found in NJ and VA. Let us know if/when you're able to ID your damselfly. Walter

Thanks for your help! This does look like some sort of bluet. I cannot find a good damselfly identification tool online and many of them look so similar.

This was taken with a Canon S5 IS in Macro.

I suggest you add your great photo to the new PN mission, Global Dragonflies & Damselflies. I'd say the damselfly you saw is some type of Bluet, but I'm not an expert! What kind of photo gear did you use to take the picture? Walter Sanford, a.k.a., Geodialist (wsanford@wsanford.com)
