Black-tipped Damsel Fly

Polythore terminata

Description:

There doesn't seem to be a common name, so I took it upon myself to name it :-) Medium sized damsel fly with clear wings tipped with black

Habitat:

This damselfly was seen around the edges of a slow moving stream in the Amazon rainforest of SE Ecuador.

Notes:

Very pretty damselfly. https://www.flickr.com/photos/76033499@N...
