Springwater Dancer - Argia plana male lateral

Size: 1.4 - 1.6 in.

This vivid blue dancer has more blue on the abdomen than the more common dancers. The western Vivid Dancer is very similar and careful study of claspers is necessary to distinguish the two species. Springwater is uncommon along streams and is often found near rocky riffles.
