Description

The damselflies are a suborder, Zygoptera, of predatory flying insects. They resemble their close relatives, the dragonflies (with which they make up the order Odonata), but are generally daintier; furthermore, their eyes are more widely separated, and most species hold their wings parallel to their bodies when at rest.
