Enallagma dubium is a damselfly in the Coenagrionidae family. [2] It occurs across twelve U.S. states (Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia), and is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. [1] E. dubium was first described in 1924 by Francis Metcalf Root. [1]
The arroyo bluet is a damselfly of the family Coenagrionidae, native to the western United States, south to southern Mexico. It is associated with slow-flowing streams or lake margins with emergent vegetation.
Enallagma is a genus of damselflies in the family Coenagrionidae commonly known as bluets. The genus consists of the following species:
The double-striped bluet is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. This species grows to lengths 21–28 mm. Its common name from the peculiar black shoulder stripe, which is divided in two by a thin blue stripe. This is the key identification characteristic; no other damselfly has a shoulder stripe that looks like this one.
The stream bluet is a species of American bluet damselflies in the family Coenagrionidae. Its length is 29–37 mm. Many bluet species prefer ponds and lakes; the stream bluet as its name implies is most at home along moving waters. It can be found along small to medium-sized rivers. It is occasionally found at lakes too. In many species of damselflies the males have a blue tip to the abdomen. Enallagma exsulans is one of those less common cases where the female, too, has a blue abdominal tip. Summertime is the best time to look for stream bluets.
Enallagma traviatum is a species of small damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is commonly known as the slender bluet. The slender is small about 29–32 mm in length.
Enallagma cardenium, the purple bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in the Caribbean and North America.
Enallagma anna, the river bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in southern Canada and western and northeastern United States.
Enallagma concisum, the cherry bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is endemic to the Eastern United States.
Enallagma sulcatum, the golden bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is endemic to the Southeastern United States.
Enallagma durum, the big bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in northern Mexico and southern and eastern United States.
Enallagma doubledayi, the Atlantic bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in the Caribbean and North America.
Enallagma vesperum, the vesper bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in southern Canada and central and eastern United States.
Enallagma divagans, the turquoise bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is endemic to the United States.
Enallagma antennatum, the rainbow bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in eastern and central North America.
Enallagma daeckii, the attenuated bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is endemic to the Eastern United States.
Enallagma aspersum, the azure bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in North America.
Enallagma novaehispaniae, the neotropical bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in Central America, North America, and South America.
Enallagma pollutum, the Florida bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is endemic to the eastern United States.
Enallagma semicirculare, the claw-tipped bluet, is a species of damselfly generally found in Mexico and the southwestern United States. It has also been sighted in southern Texas.
Leucadendron dubium, the Cederberg conebush, is a flower-bearing shrub that belongs to the genus Leucadendron and forms part of the fynbos. The plant is native to the Western Cape in the Cederberg. The plant's habitat is threatened by the rooibos tea industry.
