Calopteryx maculata, Ebony Jewelwing
Yours looks blue. I have yet to get a shot of a blue one vs. green. I think they're a little bit better looking.

I recently moved to this area
I recently moved to this area from Hawai`i. I've yet to see a green one, but my field time here has been limited.

Thank you, Natalie! Appears
Thank you, Natalie! Appears the species "Calopteryx maculata" is referred to as both Ebony Jewelwing and Black-winged here on BugGuide. The preponderance of images are the former, so I've changed the common name accordingly.
