Damsels without Dragons!

Thanks again, everyone. Stephen, I PM'ed him. Problem with the sites I've tried is that you don't get to see the pic unless you already know the name. What they need is a big page of thumbs so we can narrow down the variety first!

Super shots, Frank.

The blue one looks like a Familiar Bluet Damselfly - Enallagma civile

(see http://www.cirrusimage​.com …lfly_Enallagma_​civile.htm)

The others look like the Canyon Rubyspot Hetaerina vulnerata - male and female.

Gorgeous shots.. lovely DOF.. and such delicate colorfull subjects.

I guess someone has to do it.. scientists are funny that way,. but I'm almost surprised that they all have a name as there seem to be so many differnet damsel flys and dragonflys out there...

Thanks, guys! And thanks for all the names, too.
Dragonslayer has replied & suggested this site:

His choices for names are Boreal Bluet for the blue ones & American Rubyspot for the top 3. Me, I think I'll just stick with "Blue one" & "Green & red" one.

Oh, & CDS, they have names 'cause if you discover one, you can put your own name on it. Sort of another version of "Publish or perish"!

Wonderful shots of a difficult subject.

Thanks, Mark.
