One exquisite damsel... fly
Blue-fronted Dancer
One of the real joys of traveling is the chance to see species I'd never find at home. When a male damselfly that was almost unnaturally blue landed at my feet as I walked along an Indiana creek, I thought that I'd spotted just such a critter. But while this Blue-fronted Dancer is new to me, Argia apicalis is actually, well, potentially, found in my backyard—and throughout the central and eastern United States. Its flying season is over in the wetlands I frequent near my house, so I'll just have to put this Dancer, along with many other damselflies, in the "To Find" list for next year. Locating such a gorgeous odonate is definitely worth the effort.
