One of Costa Rica’s 28 species of Argia (Dancers), Argia ulmeca occurs on both slopes but is rare on the Pacific Slope, according to Paulson. The Olmec, incidentally, were the first major civilization in Mesoamerica (roughly central America); so there.
The male tends to have a purple tint to the blue ground colour. Our example was seen at the Hotel Villa Zurqui on our first day.
