Waiting patiently in my chair blind for the Kingfishers to return. I noticed this Damselfly land nearby on the shore of the river. After a long search online. I believe this to be a female American Rubyspot. The female, has a thin orange hue at the base of its wings, whereas the male has the far more intense ruby color.
