    The ones that look like males, andromorphs, are usually under a third of the female population but the proportion can rise significantly and a theory that explains this response suggests that it helps overcome harassment by males. [7] Some Coenagrionid damselflies show male-limited polymorphism, an even less understood phenomenon. [8]

    At night, the damselflies will return to the same sunlit areas within the vegetation where they started their day. Male beautiful damselflies do not range far from their breeding, hunting, and resting areas, only going a relatively small 20–100 metres (66–328 ft). Females have been observed flying distances of up to 4 miles (6.4 km) per day.

    Calopterygidae is a family of damselflies, in the suborder Zygoptera. [2] They are commonly known as the broad-winged damselflies, [3] demoiselles, or jewelwings. [4] These rather large damselflies have wingspans of 50–80 mm (compared to about 44 mm in the common bluetail damselfly, Ischnura elegans), are often metallic-coloured, and can be differentiated from other damselflies by the ...

    Calopteryx is a genus of large damselflies belonging to the family Calopterygidae. The colourful males often have coloured wings whereas the more muted females usually have clear wings although some develop male (androchrome) wing characteristics. In both sexes, there is no pterostigma. [1]

  8. Odonata - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odonata

    Odonata is an order of predatory flying insects that includes the dragonflies and damselflies (as well as the Epiophlebia damsel-dragonflies). The two major groups are distinguished with dragonflies (Anisoptera) usually being bulkier with large compound eyes together and wings spread up or out at rest, while damselflies (suborder Zygoptera) are usually more slender with eyes placed apart and ...

  9. External morphology of Odonata - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_morphology_of_Odonata

    Damselflies tend to be less robust, and appear weaker in flight; their wings are narrow near the base and (in most species) held folded back over the abdomen when perched. Dragonfly eyes occupy much of the animal's head, touching (or nearly touching) each other across the face. In damselflies, there is typically a gap in between the eyes.
