Thanks, Dan. I think it's interesting, too.
Unfortunately I may have jumped the gun on the identification. To my
(uneducated) eye it looks identical to a beautiful demoiselle, but it seems
that's a European species. I'm looking (so for without success) for North
American species that look similar. Could it be an alien species?
Anyway, still looking for an ID on this beauty.
Cheers,

Nice shot - these are always elusive.I'm 99% certain that's a male Ebony
Jewelwing, Calopteryx maculata. The females have small white spots at
the tips of the wings. The only other possibility would be a River
Jewelwing, but their wings are lighter at the base and only black in the
outer half.
