Pond Damsels: Dancers

The dancers belong to genus Argia, and two species are found in the Ottawa area: the Powdered Dancer and the Violet Dancer. They are among the largest pond damsels in the province and are most commonly found along rocky streams and rivers, perching on the bare ground or on rocky outcrops.
