What ARE these bugs I found by the covered bridge?



We went hunting for covered bridges through Vermont. At one of the bridges, I spotted these beautiful bottle-blue iridescent bugs. They look a lot like dragon flies, but have BLACK wings that seem more shaped like mayfly wings. I've never seen anything like them. Anyone have any idea what they are?
