The Hagan's Bluet (Enallagma hageni) occurs across the northern U.S. and parts of Canada. It is quite similar in visual characters to the even more widespread Familiar Bluet (Enallagma civile) and care is needed to separate the two in the field. The top two shots here were taken in July, 2004, at Cardinal Marsh in Winneshiek Co., Iowa with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and EF 180 mm F/3.5 macro lens with a 2X extender and 550 EX flash.

The next shot was taken near the Englehart River, Timiskaming Co., Ontario, Canada, in July, 2005, with the same camera as above but with an EF 300mm F4 L IS lens and 2X extender.
