The Blue Dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis) is a small dragonfly commonly found in North and Central America but this one is found in Uganda. Its striking appearance features a bright blue body with black stripes along its abdomen. Blue Dashers are agile fliers, often seen darting around ponds, marshes, and slow-moving streams.
