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 ...
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.
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 ...
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]
Platystictidae is a family of damselflies, commonly known as shadowdamsels. They look very similar to the threadtail damselfly family (Protoneuridae). They can mostly be found throughout Asia, Central America, and South America. Most members of this family live in dense forests in the tropics where they are found around streams.
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.
The bright lights from SpaceX's Starlink satellites were mistaken for UFOs and fighter jets by Twitter users. Watch SpaceX's Starlink satellites zoom across the night sky over the UK, looking like ...
Compared to other damselfly species, the flying earwig Hawaiian damselfly is relatively larger and more elongated. [2] Adults are usually 46–50 mm (1.8-1.9 in) in length. Their wingspan reaches 50–53 mm (1.9-2.1 in). Males are blue and black. They have enlarged and pincer-like abdominal appendages, cerci. The resemblance of the cerci ...
