	Damselflies
		Damselfly nymphs are hatched in shallow water and tend to stay in the shallows among weed beds where food is plentiful.
		When the damselflies do hatch, it is usually during mid-day and the damselflies come to the shoreline weeds in great numbers.
		The adult damselfly is not normally a food source for the trout in our interior lakes and thus is of little importance to the fly fisher.

	DAMSELFLY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Damselflies and their Nymphs eat lots of different kinds of insects from the ponds and streams where they grow up.
		Damselflies have two pair of wings that taper at the base and when at rest, the wings fold back over the body like butterfly wings.
		Damselflies flutter their wings rapidly when they are patrolling the area of the stream or river looking for prey.

	Ecowatch - damselfly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Dragonflies and damselflies are some of the most easily identifiable insects because of their long straight abdomens, large compound eyes and their long straight wings.
		Damselflies differ from dragonflies mainly due to the habit they have of resting with their wings held upright rather than parallel to the body as in dragonflies.
		Dragonflies and damselflies are found in almost all areas of Australia and are known to fly long distances in search of either permanent or temporary water in which to breed.

	Damselfly
		There are (4) families of damselflies, all aquatic.
		Damselfly larvae have slim bodies ending with 3 tail-like gills, and a head wider than the rest of the body.
		Damselfly adults have a long slender abdomen, and large widely separated eyes.

	Odonata: Dragonflies and Damselflies
		Both dragonflies and damselflies belong to the Odonata, which is a subgroup of insects, which in turn is a group of uniramian arthropods.
		Of all their characteristics, the easiest way to tell a dragonfly or damselfly from other insects is by the size of the eyes and shape of the abdomen.
		Damselflies, however, are not as limited by temperature and have been observed hunting during cold spells.

	Oceanic Hawaiian damselfly (Megalagrion oceanicum) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The oceanic Hawaiian damselfly has beautiful, translucent wings and a fl body interspersed with red or green depending on its gender.
		When the damselfly itself is disturbed, it takes refuge in the forest canopy overhanging the stream; when seized, it plays dead.
		Almost all the streams and marshes on Oahu, the most heavily populated Hawaiian island and home to the oceanic Hawaiian damselfly, have been severely altered and degraded by agricultural diversions and urban development.

	Damselflies of Kentucky - University of Kentucky Entomology
		Damselflies are close relatives of dragonflies, and look very similar, but dragonflies are unable to fold their wings over their backs, whereas most damselflies fold their wings up over their bodies when they are not flying.
		After hatching from eggs, damselfly naiads live and grow underwater and molt (shed their skins) several times before they climb to the surface of the water and shed their skins a final time to become winged adults.
		Damselflies and dragonlfies are beautiful photography subjects, but their weariness and speed makes it difficult to snap a good picture.

	Damselfly
		Description: Damselflies have four large membranous wings of nearly equal size which are held together over their back when they are at rest except for the Lestidae, which hold them slightly open.
		Damselflies have long thin bodies that are often brightly colored with green, blue, red, yellow, fl or brown.
		Damselfly adults use their hind legs which are covered with hairs to capture prey as they fly.

	westfly--Damselflies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		However, damselflies are more numerous, and the nymphs are often eaten by fish.
		At this stage of their life they are sometimes taken by trout, and a damselfly nymph imitation is effective in the months leading up to the hatch.
		After the hatch there are few damselfly nymphs of any size to interest trout, so it is usually not effective to cast an imitation until the next spring.

	damselfly
		Even so, damselflies stay much closer to their homes because their wings are more delicate and can't fly as far.
		Damselflies are what scientists call an indicator species of a healthy stream.
		This forces damselflies to move upstream toward the mountains where, once again, water is being diverted.

	Damselfly Facts
		Dragonflies and damselflies begin their life underwater, hatching from eggs and spending their first stage of life as aquatic larva or nymphs.
		After their wings have completely dried and their bodies have hardened, the adults are able to fly and begin hunting for food and for a mate.
		Dragonflies and damselflies speed, agility and excellent sight all work to their benefit, making them efficient predators and difficult prey for other insect eaters.

	Damselflies & Photographing The Damselfly
		Damselfly photography is obviously much like any kind of insect photography although one needs to keep a few details in mind when attempting this specific branch of macro photography.
		As an example the fact that the small size of the damselflies demands dedicated macro equipment like macro lenses, extension tubes, teleconverters or close-up lenses in order to be able to depict any kind of detail on the insects.
		Extra care is required in order to keep the damselfly parallel to the film plane as the long body of the insect will otherwise result in an image where the front is in focus but the rear is not or the other way around.

	Damselfly
		A naiad (nymph of damselfly) lives in water, has an elongated body, long legs, and three leaf-like appendages or gills on its tail.
		An adult damselfly has a long thin body which is green, blue, red, yellow, fl, or brown and is often brightly colored.
		Damselflies live in rice paddies, streams, and ponds with good water quality at low and middle elevations.

	Pondside with a Damselfly
		Water lettuce and water hyacinth seem to be a favorite among the damselfly as they like to lay eggs in stems submerged a bit under water.
		Damselfly usually live in waterside plants and many times mate in trees.
		A common damselfly you will most likely be able to attract in North America is the Common Blue Damselfly (Enallagma cyathigerum), A lovely turquoise color, the thin body and large eyes are a sure give away to the species.

		This is the life cycle of a damselfly.
		Adult damselflies have a long and slender abdomen, two pairs of wings and three pairs of long legs.
		When damselflies breed, the male will attach the back of his abdomen to the female's head and in this position they fly together.

	Management for Southern Damselfly - The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds
		Southern damselfly populations have declined or been lost where their habitat has become over grown by scrub and/or rank vegetation, which shades or hides the runnels.
		However, if the southern damselfly has been lost to an area, restoration may not be enough to cause recolonisation as the species is not very mobile, with individuals moving on average less than 1km.
		Clearance of scrub or carr to open the runnels to sunlight is in many all that is required to restore habitat for the southern damselfly.

	Matching the Damselfly Hatch, by Greg Thomas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Damselflies are not difficult to identify and their very nature makes them conspicuous: adults have four wings and an elongated, slender body that is most commonly bright blue, although shades of olive, rust, and red are sometimes seen.
		Damselflies migrate toward the shoreline but float tubing well out in the lake can be very effective, especially around submerged weedbeds and other structure.
		A damselfly is a significant meal and even the most stubborn large trout can't refuse a properly placed fly when the hatch is on.

		This little damselfly nymph appeared one day in a petri dish where I had been keeping some Chara (a macrophytic alga) from southeast Arizona since late Oct 2004.
		At the end of the twig, the damselfly perched with its abdomen hanging down and remained still while its wings firmed up.
		As it perched, the damselfly eventually grew to be about 3 cm long.

	Damselfly - Fly Fishing Flies of Chile/Argentina
		The damselfly like the dragonfly, is another good fly pattern to have on hand when fly fishing for trout in the lakes of Argentina and Chile.
		The damselfly is tied on a number 10-12 dry fly hook.
		Because of damselfly size, trout tend to come up on it slowly, but taking it quickly.

	Damselfly
		As adults, you can tell the two apart by the fact that the damselfly has a very long, slender abdomen and, when not flying, usually holds its long stiff wings together with tips touching over its back.
		The dragonfly generally has a thicker abdomen, and when resting, holds its wings straight out from its body in the same position as in flight.
		Damselflies are good flyers and can attain speeds of up to 30 mph.

	The acrobatic damselfly ... a wonderful creation of God
		The damselfly hovered about 30 centimetres (one foot) in front of the web, seeming to study the spider's lair.
		What amazes me is that the damselfly could spot such a minute and immobilized morsel from so far away, let alone snatch it from a spider's trap without getting caught itself.
		You and your children can develop an appreciation for the creative skill of the Lord by going on a tiny creature safari, with magnifying glass in hand, and watching for whatever surprises are awaiting you.

	The Nature Conservancy in New York - New York Dragonfly and Damselfly Survey
		While they are among New York's most aggressive hunters, damselflies and dragonflies also have some of the most colorful names: American rubyspot, green darner, cherry-faced meadowhawk, golden-winged skimmer.
		Dragon and damselflies are generally found near water or wetlands because their larvae are aquatic.
		While the The New York Dragonfly and Damselfly Atlas is being coordinated during the next three years by staff from the New York Natural Heritage Program, its success also depends on the help and dedication of members of the public.
