Argia vivida, the vivid dancer, is a species of narrow-winged damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae.[2][3][4][5] This species is commonly found in springs and forests Central America and North America.[2][6] Argia vivida inhabit areas of diverse temperatures due to thermoregulation.[7] The species is also considered the state insect of Nevada.[8]
Argia vivida vary in color, although they are typically associated with the bright blue coloration. Other variations include red, brown, or grey depending on the type of morph and temperature.[9] Mating occurs in mornings and afternoons, and eggs are oviposited just below the surface of the water.[10][6] Larvae and adults feed on larvae from small invertebrates and small flying insects, respectively.[6][11]
The IUCN conservation status of Argia vivida is "LC", least concern, with no immediate threat to the species' population. The population is stable.[1][12]
