William, should we move
the page of questionable cervula/denticollis females here out from under cervula to a species page in its own right and see if we can get some identified to species? Does the range help with any of these?

Species Page
Yes I think it would be helpful to move it to its own species page.
I had forgotten about this page.
I'll move some of the images that I recently moved - to it.
Any of the questionable images north of Oregon should be assignable to cervula.

OK, moved the page
it will take a little time for the images to catch up to the page move

Moved
Moved from Narrow-winged Damselflies.

Could be either I. cervula or I. denticollis.
This is a difficult ID issue with mature females of these two species.
