I'm sorry Walter for my poor explanation, yes 'Diablo' means Devil. Literally translated means 'Devil's Little Horse'. I don´t know nothing about genus or species of Odonata ( not my subject), this is new for me. :)

Odonates are associated with the Devil in the folklore of some cultures -- is that the meaning of the word, "Diablo?" Do you know the genus and species of this damselfly? If not, then I can send you a pointer to a resource that may be useful.

Thank you Walter! I´m waiting for the Spring and for my butterflies...
'Caballito del diablo' is just the common name for Damselfly in Spanish, in Argentina we call it in this way. :-)

Good series of photos, Daniela! Be careful or dragonflies and damselflies will steal your heart from the butterflies and flowers! ;-) One suggestion for improvement: Expand upon the meaning of the tag, "Caballito del Diablo."
