Additional Odonata Information Damselfly Pictures Dragonfly Pictures

Because of the abundance of black and blue coloration among species in the Argia genus, the purple coloration of the Emma's Dancer (Argia emma) makes it among the easiest Argia to identify.

They are a fairly common species along rivers and streams of the Western United States.

Females, almost always close by, have tan to brown colored bodies.
