Violet Dancer (Argia fumipennis)

Also called Variable Dancer. These violet coloured damselflies are quite striking, I think, but I'm still waiting to get a shot that will really show off that lovely colour!

So nicely composed against against the dried leaf veins, great shot!

Beautiful image !

I think you already nailed the lovely color. It is more intensive violet throughout than our Ischnura elegans female.

almost a Private Dancer, tucked away on the periphery....certainly a stretched-out species..

Nice shot. Those damsels are so darned small they're tough to capture.

The colorful damselfly against the textured brown leaf is like a visual haiku. Very appropriate and excellent image for its poet name. V.

Excellent closeup detail, and such a pretty damselfly! V.
