Tule bluet
I would love to know what particular characteristics made this pair Tule bluets? (That would help me know what to look for next time. Thanks )

Tule seems to be the only
black and blue bluet with more black than blue on all the long abdominal segments. Even segment 3 and 4, the first long abdominal segments are more than half black.
