The Bog - Emerald Damselflies

Emerald Damselflies must be one of the most beautiful of our Damselflies. The iridescent metallic sheen gives them an edge on just about all the others!

Here's the male, noticeably thin abdomen with powdery blue coloration on the side of the thorax, pronotum and some of the segments. 



The female has a distinctly thicker abdomen, greenish above with beige underparts.




And you can clearly tell for these two, it was love at firstsight!
