Blue Dasher (male)

I've only posted a Blue Dasher once before, a female almost two years ago, http://365project.org/rhoing/365/2013-08-25
Although it's not quite so apparent from this image, from another submitted to BugGuide, I think this will turn out to be a male…

Confirmed at BugGuide as male “Pachydiplax longipennis” or “Blue Dasher”; http://bugguide.net/node/view/1126683
