Dragonfly Face

$19.00 – $400.00

A dragonfly is an insect belonging to the order Odonata, infraorder Anisoptera (from Greekἄνισος anisos, “uneven” and πτερόν pteron, “wing”, because the hindwing is broader than the forewing). Adult dragonflies are characterized by large, multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong, transparent wings, sometimes with coloured patches, and an elongated body. Dragonflies can be mistaken for the related group, damselflies (Zygoptera), which are similar in structure, though usually lighter in build; however, the wings of most dragonflies are held flat and away from the body, while damselflies hold the wings folded at rest, along or above the abdomen. Dragonflies are agile fliers, while damselflies have a weaker, fluttery flight. Many dragonflies have brilliant iridescent or metallic colours produced by structural coloration, making them conspicuous in flight. An adult dragonfly’s compound eyes have nearly 24,000 ommatidia each.

Dragonfly Face, High Magnification

$19.00 – $400.00

Neurobasis chinensis,[2] stream glory[3][4] is a species of damselfly in the family Calopterygidae. It is a common species distributed across much of Asia.[1]

Neurobasis chinensis male flashing wings

Males have very iridescent green hindwings which are flashed in display to attract females. The colour is produced by interference from the thin surfaces of the wing membrane. Female is very similar to the male. But its wings are transparent and light coffee brown with white wings spots.[5][6][4]

This species breeds at forest streams and it can adapt to disturbed and cultivated habitat types. The males maintain their territories along stretches of moderately fast-flowing streams. Normally found only near the water bodies. Female lays eggs in submerged vegetation, often among root masses, sometimes submerging herself fully for a few minutes.
