Ebony Jewelwings

Calopteryx Maculata

Description:

Male has black wings and green body. It's appx 2" long. Female is a bit smaller, has lighter wings and body. They also have a white spot on the tip of their wings.

Habitat:

Close to slow moving streams and creeks. Eastern 2/3 of United States and eastern half of Canada.

Notes:

I believe this is a mating pair of Ebony Jewelwings. I found them by the stream at the campground.
