Spread-wing damselfly ? - Archilestes californicus - Male
Livermore, Alameda County, California, USA
September 24, 2017
Size: 2"
This is a gorgeous blue-eyed damselfly who is much longer than the other damselflies zipping around . I was amazed at the beauty of this one ( not sure if it is male or female ) , can you tell in this photo ? The big beautiful blue eyes were amazing and this one was photogenic ... only saw one of this type but there were lots of damselflies and dragonflies zipping around a pond .
