Iridescent Dragonfly

I saw this Dragonfly resting on a Daylily leaf drinking the morning dew. The angle of the sun gave its wings an iridescent blue color. I was able to capture a little bit of that color on the right side of the right wings. I don't know the specific category this one falls into. But it is a Dragonfly because of the asymmetrical wing pairs. Also, according to Wikipedia, Dragonflies rest with their wings unfolded. The white spot on the right eye is sun glare. I tried unsuccessfully to remove it so rather than make an obvious mark on the surface of the eye I decided it was better left alone. A fascinating insect... Bob
