Tule Bluet

Additional Odonata Information Damselfly Pictures Dragonfly Pictures

Like most of the Enallagma species, you need to get a feel for identifying the Tule Bluet (Enallagma carunculatum).

It's another very common pond damsel found at both lower and higher elevations across much of the United States.

The presence of more black than blue on the abdominal pattern (compared to other bluets in the area) usually serves as the best field identification clue.
