Argia pulla - male
this damselfly measures about 1.5" long. It is one of the few that I have seen with blue coloring.
Tropical dry forest in NW Costa Rica six weeks into the six month dry season. This damselfly inhabits an area where there is a stream that runs year round.

I see you are really in to macro pics!thats nice, what kind of object do you have?im looking forward to buy one for mine
Thanks Lindsey for the suggestion. I did some searches and got lucky. The common blue-tail is local to the U.K. This particular speciman was shot near my home in Costa Rica. Here is a spectacular link for the damselflies and dragonflies of Costa Rica that I found today:
