Welcome to the Damselfly page
All identifications are tentative.
Identifying some damselfly species from photographs can be very easy. As with the dragonflies some can be difficult, if not impossible. Being generally smaller makes them harder to identify. Some species are only safely identified by close examination of specimens. If you wish to send a comment about an identification or a correction go to contact us.
The Photo galleries on the site were made with JAlbum Software and Turtle skin.
