Pair of damselflies (DDF235) - Argia
Great Falls NP, Fairfax County, Virginia, USA
June 17, 2007
These appear to be the same species, though one is lighter than the other; early morning, so they may have warmed up at different rate. Appreciate ID. Will put up separate images of upper and lower damselflies.

Could be female brown form of powdered dancer or blue fronted dancer as the males were out in sig numbers
