Ep. 163 : Ebony Jewelwings

17.06.2021

Ebony Jewelwings (CIalopteryx maculata) are beautiful, which is one of the reasons they are so interesting to watch. I have seriously sat for hours watching them, photographing them and trying to learn from observing what is going on. I have mostly come away with questions.

In light of my own questions and many from friends I have decided to try and research a little bit more about these beautiful broadwinged Damselflies in hopes that I can learn a little bit more and help answer some of those pressing questions.

So come along for the flight and enjoy learning more about the natural history and interesting ecology of the Ebony Jewelwing.

Books I read from:

Dragonflies and Damselflies of the East by Dennis Paulson

A Guide To Observing Insect Lives by Donald Stokes

A Guide To C0mmon Freshwater Invertebrates of North America by J. Resse Voshell, Jr.
