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]
