Male Blue-fronted Dancer


The male blue-fronted dancer, Argia apicalis, has an intense turquoise blue color on the head, eyes, thorax, and very tip of the abdomen.  When viewed at close range, this color is just breathtaking.  Dozens of b males and females dotted the bank of the Olentangy yesterday at Kenney Park.
