Local social media sites were buzzing with questions and reported sightings of a string of lights in the night sky over the South Shore on Sunday. The lights were coming from Starlink satellites ...
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 ...
Cryptophaea damselflies are characterised by their small and slender thorax, narrow clear wings, and long abdomen. The abdomen is significantly longer than the wings, with an abdomen-to-wing length ratio ranging from 1.4 to 1.5.
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 ...
