Damselfy - Enallagma geminatum - Female
Wildcat Ridge, Morris Cty County, New Jersey, USA

Size: 1.5"
Found this damsel today along a hiking trail, no water nearby. There were many E. Forktails around the area. This one had an interesting abdominal pattern on S8 which is hard to see in this picture. I couldn't find anything like it in Ed Lam's Damsel book. Sorry for the crappy picture.
