[Odonata-l] Damselfly to identify, please...

The backlight does make it harder to see, but yes, you're right - it is a nice effect for the photo. I know my friend Jerrell thought it was Argia translata, and my thought was Argia moesta. Either way, you were probably hoping for something a bit more exotic on your trip south, no?

Best wishes,
Glenn

Hello all,

During a business trip I went to Dallas, Texas last May 25th for a whole week. After work, I spent some time around the city to take Nature pictures (looking for insects, birds, plants, etc...). 

Here are two pictures I took of a damselfly from the Coenagrionidae family. I'm suspecting the Genus Argia but I'm not sure.

I know that the backlight doesn't help (even if I like the light here) but do you think it is possible to confirm the Genus Argia or maybe the species???

Thank you very much for your always appreciated help.
