Sparkling jewelwings are members of the Calopterygidae family of broad-winged damselflies, large damselflies that are usually found along streams. Calopteryx dimidiata range through the southeastern United States, mostly in the coastal plain, west into Texas, to Kentucky and up the Atlantic coast into New England. The adult damselflies are from 37-50mm (1.5-2in.) long and have clear wings. Males have dark wingtips, females usually have a white spot called the pterostigma on the leading edge of the wings, and also sometimes have dark wingtips.
