Not sure of all the possibilities
in Arizona, but if this were farther north, we would have no trouble suggesting E. carunculatum, with segments 3 through 6 a little more black than blue.

Tule Bluet
Thanks very much for helping me with this damselfly. After doing a search I discovered that E. carunculatum is found in AZ. I really appreciate your help. I am new to odes and finding them to be very challenging, much more so than birds! Thanks for taking the time.
