Of all the bluets (a damselfly), the male Rainbow Bluet is one of the easiest to identify. The orange eyes (green behind), blue postocular spots, bluish-green thorax, yellowish legs, black abdomen (sides blue, with Segment 9 entirely blue), and narrow yellowish stripes on the thorax are key characteristics. [1.2-1.5 inches] They can be commonly found along the north lake's north shore. 6/21/13 (Wolf. Oesterreich)
