Enallagma cyathigerum
Damselfly of the Coenagrionidae family, 30 a 35 mm long. It can be easily confused with the azure Dragonfly (Coenagrion puella), but it has more blue than black in the back and chest, the opposite in the C. Puella. Besides, in the side of the chest E. Cyathigerum has only a small black stripe there, while all other blue damselflies have two.
