Enallagma sp.

Enallagma sp.
Ogden, Weber County, Utah, USA
May 28, 2023
Size: 31.8mm Wingspan: ~36mm
Definitely Enallagma sp. unsure how to tell the difference between species, could be one of 6 species based on locality and I am struggling to differentiate them. Discoloration due to acetone preservation, original live colors where a bright blue, as is common for this genus. The black colors have not changed.
Found within tall grass, other damselflies appeared to be hunting young Orthoptera from the grass.
