Ebony Jewelwing

Ebony Jewelwing Female
Carol swears that she did not tell me these were her favorite.  Maybe I just imagined that she said that.  

Ebony Jewelwing Male
They are among the largest damselflies.  They are easy to spot because of the contrast with the background.

The males come in two color schemes, metallic and emerald green.  I have seen both at Gorman this season.  They seem to like the area by the covered bridge in the early morning.

This one is having breakfast in the warm sun.  

I read that the females submerge while ovipositing.
