Nevada state insect?

The vivid dancer damselfly is a blue insect with transparent wings that "appear silver when rapidly beating in the sunlight."

The damselfly preys on mosquitoes and other pests. It's found throughout the state. It was first classified in 1865, the year after Nevada became a state.

Sounds like a worthy choice.
