male, the females are brown. The Bluet Damselfly is the most common
damselfly in California. The nymphs are a regular in my ponds and

of mosquito larvae and the adults are great consumers of mosquitos on the

spider. The Stream Bluet Damselfly has more dark markings in the
abdomen. Damselfly's usually hold their wings together when resting.
