orange bluets (Enallagma signatum) mating at Lake Meyer Park IA 653A9150
This is definitely the easiest bluet to identify! Whoever named it must have been colorblind since it certainly is not blue! Males are bright orange, though females can be yellow, green or blue. Damselflies are famous for forming this mating wheel which often takes the shape of a heart - skewed a bit to the left here.
