Pretty certain it's a Damesfly but can anyone tell more? I couldn't get a full view on one frame because I had my 1x-5x lens mounted.

Moved
Moved from Damselflies. Thank you for the suggestion on showing the thorax. I'll try harder for that angle next time.

Enallagma
Female bluet, don't think I can tell any more from this angle. If you're using the 1x-5x, it's possibly that a top view of the head and thorax might be enough to ID these females.
