Questna County Park, Columbia River, Morrow County, Oregon. September 2013.

NOTE: Similar to the Tule Bluet but slightly longer and the black marks on S2 to S7 increase in size a little. The female is either green or blue. Historically this species was only reported in the region from the southeast corner of Oregon (Kerst & Gordon, 2011) but Jim Johnson discovered it at this location along the Columbia River in August of 2013. I stopped there on my way to Yellowstone a couple days later.
