Swamp Spreadwing "black form" - Lestes vigilax -

Keating Lake, Kings County, New Brunswick, Canada
August 31, 2007

Most specimens in New Brunswick are metallic green, but locally all the ones we caught at this lake seemed to be this colour instead...Maybe just an age thing, as they do seem to change as the season progresses.
