Damselfly

The damselfly adult looks much like the dragonfly. However, it can be distinguished by the way it holds its wings when at rest. The dragonfly holds its wings out to the sides when resting, whereas the damselfly holds its wings together above it body.

The damselfly nymph is longer and more slender than the dragonfly nymph and has a tail with 3 filaments, each of which contains the gills that allow the nymph to breathe oxygen underwater.
