Copper Winged Demoiselle

Calopteryx haemorrhoidalis

Description:

Damselflies are similar to dragonflies but are smaller, have slimmer bodies, and most species fold the wings along the body when at rest.

Habitat:

Near water.

Notes:

All damselflies are predatory. Their presence on a body of water indicates that it is relatively unpolluted, but their dependence on freshwater makes them vulnerable to damage to their wetland habitats.
