Argia vivida
Vivid Dancer
Argia vivida, known as the vivid dancer, is a narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is notable for its striking temperature-dependent coloration, with individuals displaying bright blue, red, brown, or grey morphs. The species exhibits sophisticated thermoregulatory behavior, moving between forested roosting sites and sunlit clearings to maintain optimal body temperature. It is widely distributed across Central and North America and is recognized as the state insect of Nevada.
