picture info	Spreadwing The Lestidae are a rather small family of cosmopolitan, large-sized, slender damselflies, known commonly as the spreadwings or spread-winged damselflies. Characteristics While most damselflies rest with their wings folded together, most members of the family Lestidae hold them at an angle away from their bodies. The pterostigma (a single dark spot in the meshwork of the leading edge near the tip of each wing) is noticeably elongated. The quadrilateral (a part of the wing venation, close to the body) has an acute angle at the end. The body has a greenish, metallic shine. The superior anal appendages, commonly called claspers (body parts of male insect for clasping the female during copulation) of male spreadwings are long and strongly curved. Breeding takes place in slow-moving or still water in stream backwaters, swamps, marshes and temporary pools. The nymphs have a long abdomen and a distinctive prementum (part of the lower lip). There is one generation per year in North Ame ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Damselfly Damselflies are flying insects of the suborder Zygoptera in the order Odonata. They are similar to dragonflies, which constitute the other odonatan suborder, Anisoptera, but are smaller and have slimmer bodies. Most species fold the wings along the body when at rest, unlike dragonflies which hold the wings flat and away from the body. An ancient group, damselflies have existed since at least the Lower Permian, and are found on every continent except Antarctica. All damselflies are predatory insects; both nymphs and adults actively hunt and eat other insects. The nymphs are aquatic, with different species living in a variety of freshwater habitats including acidic bogs, ponds, lakes and rivers. The nymphs moult repeatedly, at the last moult climbing out of the water to undergo metamorphosis. The skin splits down the back, they emerge and inflate their wings and abdomen to gain their adult form. Their presence on a body of water indicates that it is relatively unpolluted, but the ...

picture info	Lestes ''Lestes'' is a genus of damselfly in the family Lestidae. The family hold their wings at about 45 degrees to the body when resting. This distinguishes them from most other species of damselflies which hold the wings along, and parallel to, the body when at rest. The name ''Lestes'' comes from the Greek word λῃστής (lēistēs) meaning ''predator''. Extant Species The genus ''Lestes'' includes the following species: Fossils '' Lestes aquisextana '' '' Lestes arvernus '' '' Lestes brisaci '' ''Lestes ceresti '' '' Lestes conexus '' '' Lestes datangensis '' '' Lestes dianacompteae '' ''Lestes forsterii '' '' Lestes irenea '' '' Lestes leucosia '' '' Lestes ligea '' '' Lestes lutzi '' '' Lestes peisinoe '' '' Lestes plicata '' '' Lestes regina '' ''Lestes sieblosiformis '' '' Lestes statzi '' '' Lestes vicina '' '' Lestes zalesskyi'' See also Chalcolestes ''Chalcolestes'' is a small genus of damselfly in the family Lestidae.
