The white wing spots suggest it's a female. I'm not sure that the distinction is made from the smaller damselflies in America and it could be a black-winged damselfly (Calopteryx maculata).

Thank you for your very kind words, I had a look at your Gallery, Very Impressive work. I must admit, I've found the White stage of the Ambush Bug, but never a Green one. Canon 5D
