The damselfly

Dragonflies and damselflies are aerial predators as adults and aquatic predators as nymphs. Both stages need unpolluted water.

An insect has six legs and, in winged forms, one or two pairs of wings. Most named species in this catalog are known from a type series and a locality, not from a popular field guide.

Range and habitat

It is found in Greece, Syria, Israel, Turkey, and possibly Lebanon. Its natural habitats are rivers and freshwater springs. It is threatened by habitat loss.

Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.

Life history

Life history follows the order: complete metamorphosis in moths and beetles, nymphs in grasshoppers and bugs. This page does not invent a host plant that no source named.
