Rouge Damselfly

[paul_reeves]

I went to Rouge Park at Steeles and Reesor yesterday and again the bugs were much more accommodating than the birds. I came across this Damselfly which I think is a female Familiar Bluet but I would appreciate some confirmation from someone who knows these critters better than I do. The first two images were taken about an hour before the next three and are two different bugs. I'm wondering if they are two different species and am I even correct in identifying them as a Familiar Bluet?







TIA for the help.

These are female powdered dancers, which hold their wings away from their abdomen unlike bluets. Female bluets mostly require a microscope to identify.
