    Sorry, David, Ischnura heterosticta is an Australian species that doesn't occur in the USA.
    Here are a few other options. Unfortunately, they are very similar and you have to take a look at their private parts to tell them apart.

      Yes, I wondered about that when it came up. They look very much alike. Will explore other species. Posted 10 years ago

        This is a damselfly, not a dragonfly. Posted 10 years ago

      That would not be possible, the "Blue Riverdamsel" is found in Asia and Australia while this one is American. It is one of the bluet species described in the link from my earlier comment. Posted 7 years ago

    I think you are correct! Been a mystery for some time. It was photographed beside a pond by he water's edge. Thanks for the help. Posted 9 years ago
