| The Neotropical Bluet (Enallagma novaehispaniae) occurs from central and south Texas into Mexico, Central and South America. In Texas it is often found on flowing rivers such as the Guadalupe and Nueces Rivers in the Texas Hill Country. The photo of the male at right was a digital capture in October, 2003, on the Guadalupe River near Ingram, Kerr Co., Texas with a Canon EOS D60 and EF 70-200 mm F/2.8 L IS lens with a 2X extender 550 EX flash. |  |
