Eastern Forktails

Posted on Jun 6, 2015

One of the first spring damselflies to be seen, and one of our most abundant: The Eastern Forktail (Ischnura verticalis). As you can see the males and females can show a variety of coloration. Sean loves seeing fields and areas with water just filled with these jewels of all different colors. Photographed by RTPI Affiliate Sean Graesser for the Meet Your Neighbours global biodiversity project in Connecticut for the Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History.
