| We would like to thank Michael L. May for many helpful discussions of damselfly biology and biogeography. |
|
| Longhorn leaf beetles do not have gills and therefore cannot extract oxygen directly from the water, as damselfly and dragonfly larvae do. |
|
| A grasshopper materialized, then several hornets, two shiny black wasps, a drab brown damselfly, and a large azure-blue dragonfly. |
|
| Fish were held in large plastic tanks or large aquaria when not being used, and they were fed frozen chironomids and live damselfly larvae. |
|
| A blue damselfly lurked, wings swept back, then flashed out to hawk the beck. |
|
| A larval damselfly abdomen is longer and narrower with three fin-like gills projecting from the end. |
|
| With careful study, exuvia can actually be used to identify the species of dragonfly or damselfly that left them behind. |
|
| Superfluous killing has been reported for a diverse group of animals, including zooplankton, stoats and weasels, damselfly naiads, wolves, predaceous mites, and spiders. |
|
| A blue damselfly hovers up from the chamomile, white and yellow, green. |
|
| Commonly found along the shores of rivers and large creeks, this damselfly has a beautiful, butterfly-like flight. |
|
| The damselfly Calopteryx exul, for example, is in decline and classed as Endangered. |
|
| A genus of damselfly easily recognized by a blue marking at the end of their abdomen. |
|
| She pointed out damselfly larva, water beetles, tadpoles, backswimmers, dragon fly larva and snails as they circled around in our tiny sample of the marsh. |
|
| A damselfly larva is distinguishable from a dragonfly larva by its breathing apparatus. |
|
| Ober Water can be great for scarce blue-tailed damselfly, white-legged damselfly and small red damselfly. |
|
| The ditches, dikes and reed-edged fleets that crisscross the grazing marshes here are rich in invertebrates, including the scarce emerald damselfly. |
|
| In the Japanese damselfly, Mnais costalis, there is a high degree of female monopolization and females often oviposit on territories in tight aggregated clumps. |
|
| Dragonfly nymphs also have gills, but they are unlike the gills of the mayfly, damselfly and stonefly nymphs. |
|
| And you see more than butterflies, like a shockingly irridescent green tiger beetle or a damselfly decorated with electric blue. |
|
| After emerging from the larval stage, the damselfly takes to the air to feed and mate. |
|
|
|
| Costs of sexual interactions to females in Rambur's forktail damselfly, Ischnura ramburi. |
|
| The former is particularly good for southern damselfly. |
|
| Sedge Sprites, Delicate Emeralds, Wandering Gliders and Ruby Meadowhawks are among the 38 species of dragonfly and damselfly found in Prince Edward Island National Park. |
|
| Fluctuating asymmetry and sexual selection in the dark-winged damselfly Calopteryx maculata. |
|
| This provides an important habitat for species such as the grasshopper warbler, bog rosemary and small red damselfly. |
|
| Lifetime reproductive success and the opportunity for selection in a nonterritorial damselfly. |
|
| The boys had to identify what lives beneath the surface of a pond and found a whole host of aquatic creatures such as damselfly nymphs and a water scorpion. |
|
| A Banded Agrion Damselfly passed through my south Lancing garden at fence height without pausing to explore. |
|
| Yesterday, while I was out, Sheila was lucky enough to see a Red Admiral butterfly, and more unusually, a Banded Agrion Damselfly which landed very close to her. |
|
| A few weeks ago, I wrote about strange names for beers and Jill Lucas sent me a photograph of Young's Damselfly elderflower lager. |
|
| The new Sandfly and Damselfly lines include a lightweight, mesh jacket and pants designed to pack small and protect big. |
