Not a dancer
More likely Enallagma

That would be awesome
glad I submitted it, it just looked different from all my blue-fronted dancers but I didn't know what else to go with. I have not had a bluet before. I'm guessing Enallagma civile now that I look at them, and they are listed in our area in October too.

Looks like Familiar Bluet
Unless Atlantic Bluet occurs in your area.
