Enallagma pictum, the scarlet bluet, is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. They are found from New Brunswick, Canada to Maryland. [2] [3] [4]
The scarlet bluet is a damselfly with a length of 29.5–30.5 mm (1.16–1.20 in) long. The male is predominantly red and black while the female is light green and black. [5]
Scarlet bluets have a flight season of mid May to September depending on range. [5]
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. Bluets can be distinguished from the similar vivid dancer by wing position; at rest, bluets' wings hang down on either side of their body, while vivid dancers hold their wings above their body. Bluets also have shorter leg spines.
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.
The tule bluet is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae found in North America, from northern Mexico to southern Canada.
The marsh bluet is a damselfly species in the family Coenagrionidae.
The orange bluet is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae.
The boreal bluet is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae.
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 annexum, the northern bluet, is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. Enallagma annexum was formerly included with Enallagma cyathigerum.
Enallagma vernale, the vernal bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in 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 sulcatum, the golden bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is endemic to the Southeastern United States.
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 aspersum, the azure bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in North America.
Enallagma minusculum, the little bluet, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is found in North 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.
