Blue Dasher

 

Characteristics: Blue Dashers can be found near slow moving water sources. Adults have four wings with two noticeable dark streaks in them. They have a striking blue color ending in a black tip on the abdomen. Their heads contain their large eyes which take on a metallic look. The female differs somewhat from the male in that her wings do not contain the aforementioned stripes and their abdomens are stubbier. Females are further distinguished by their abdomen coloring that can also be seen with yellow stripes along the sides and top. The thorax has yellowish-green striping as well.
