Description
The Damselfly is a relative of the Dragon fly, but these insects are smaller and have slimmer bodies. They start out as nymphs in a lake, pond, stream or brook, then hatch out and become colorful flying insects. Many people, including myself, are grateful to the Damselflies because they do keep the mosquito population under control. Their lively hood is dependent on fresh water. I found this damselfly near the brook that runs just parallel to the Brookside Cemetery in Somesville Maine. I love his dark exterior contrasting to the bright green fern and background.
