Whats the difference between a dragonfly and a damselfy?
Damselflies are usually very slim, with their forewings and hindwings narrow at the base and of similar shape. Their eyes are widely separated. Most species of damselfies hold their wings above their abdomen when they rest. Damselflies are insects in the sub-order Zygoptera (meaning “yoke-winged”). Dragonflies are usually larger, and their eyes touch near the tops of their heads. Their wings do not narrow at the base and the forewings and hindwings differ in shape. Their wings are usually spread apart when they rest. Dragonflies are insects in the sub-order Anisoptera (meaning”unequal-winged”).
