Damselfly (Orange)
It’s getting colder so this may be the last Damselfly photo for 2009 :(
Glass lake, N.Y. USA
The Damselfly (Suborder Zygoptera) is an insect in the Order Odonata. Damselflies are similar to dragonflies, but the adults can be differentiated by the fact that the wings of most damselflies are held along, and parallel to, the body when at rest. Furthermore, the hindwing of the damselfly is essentially similar to the forewing, while the hindwing of the dragonfly broadens near the base, caudal to the connecting point at the body. Damselflies are also usually smaller, weaker fliers than dragonflies, and their eyes are separated.(wiki)

Hi Marleia, this is a fantastic and super sharp and clear and well lit closeup of the Damselfly. I didn’t know they were so ugly. LOL Damselflies are my friends because I understand they eat mosquitos, which I don’t care for at all. Your write up on him is very interesting too. My brother Dennis says he looks like a monster from Mars. LOL Great work. Ed
