Ischnura senegalensis,[2][1] also known variously as common bluetail,[3] marsh bluetail,[3] ubiquitous bluetail, African bluetail, and Senegal golden dartlet,[3][4] is a widespread damselfly of the family Coenagrionidae.[1]

It is native from Africa, through the Middle East, to southern and eastern Asia.[1] The species is found in slow-stagnant or leisurely flowing water bodies and tolerates both disturbances, salt and pollution but is absent from intact forest areas.[1][5][6][3][4]
