| POND/NARROW-WINGED DAMSELFLIES (Family Coenagrionidae):The largest group of damselflies in our area, nearly all species have clear wings that narrow at the base. Small to medium-sized, they typically perch horozontally with their wings pressed together over the back. While many are found near ponds, members of this diverse family frequent a variety of habitats, including wetlands and streams. |
