Common pondhawk (Erythemis simplicicollis), male

This is a juvenile male in the process of becoming an adult. The green thorax and upper abdomen are his juvenile colouring, while the blue on the rest of the abdomen is the colour he will turn all over once the change is complete. His green face will remain green!
