The Norfolk damselfly, Norfolk coenagrion or dark bluet (Coenagrion armatum) is a species of blue damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae, native to northern Eurasia from the Netherlands and Norway east to Kamchatka. Name This species acquired its common name from its discovery in 1903 and its presence in a very restricted area of the Norfolk Broads, England. Identification At first glance, this damselfly may resemble a blue-tailed damselfly or a red-eyed damselfly more than a typical Coenagrion species.
