Dragonflies/Damselflies
The Beautiful Demoiselle (Calopteryx virgo) is a large damselfly found along clean, fast-flowing streams across Europe. Males display metallic blue bodies and dark, iridescent wings, while females are bronze-green with smoky wings. Preferring shaded, well-vegetated watercourses, it is an indicator of good freshwater habitat quality.
