The Blue-ringed Dancer (Argia sedula) inhabits a variety of water areas, especially in the southern half of the United States.

The extra-blue eyes and top thoracic stripe (compared to the side thorasic stripes), along with the thin, light circles on the dark abdomen are useful field identification clues.
