The Variable Damselfly or Variable Bluet (Coenagrion pulchellum) is a European damselfly. Despite its name, it is not the only blue damselfly prone to variable patterning.
Its behaviour is much like that of the Azure Damselfly; it usually stays close to vegetation. Immatures are often found in adjacent meadows or uncut grassy areas.

Along the shore of silver streaming Thames,
Whose rutty bank, the which his river hems,
Was painted all with variable flowers,”
