Little Blue Dragonlet, Uncommon Here - Erythrodiplax minuscula
Cheat Bridge, Randolph County, West Virginia, USA
June 26, 2005
Size: One inch
A neat find. At first glance it looked like a Blue Dasher, but was only one inch long. The face was a striking metallic blue, although my photos of the face showed only black there. Previously known in West Virginia from only two counties (single records in each); this makes the third county record.
