Variable Dancer

I'm fortunate to live in an area where there are frequent bird and nature walks available. I often attend, and enjoy being able to benefit from the guidance of others with more spotting and identification expertise than I have. Yesterday's targets were dragonflies and damselflies, and I saw something land on the ground in front of me. It looked rather drab to my naked eye, but not so with a magnified view:


I thought the bright purple body was striking. Also, I was delighted to learn that this particular damselfly is known as a Variable Dancer. I wouldn't class myself as being even as good as Variable in that particular category. It could make for a fine album title, though.
