This is a large damselfly with a total length of up to 48 millimetres (1.9 in) and a hindwing length of up to 36 millimetres (1.4 in).

 

Male and female are variable in color and pattern. The male has translucent wings which each have a broad, dark iridescent blue-black spot (or band) across the outer part. On immature individuals the spot is dark brown. The body can be a metallic blue or bluish green or a combination of both colours, depending on the time of year and location.

 

The dark wing patch of the male starts at the nodus (the slight dip midway down the upper edge of the wing) but can reach up to the wing-tip in southern races.[3] In the very similar beautiful demoiselle (Calopteryx virgo), the dark patch starts before the nodus.

 

The female has translucent, pale green iridescent wings with a white patch near the tip (a pseudopterostigma), and a metallic green or bronze/green body.

Female.

Scientific name: Calopterx splendens.

 

The Banded demoiselle is one of the largest damselflies in the UK. It can usually be found flitting around vegetation of slow running streams, rivers, canals and ponds with muddy bottoms. The larvae live underwater amongst roots and vegetation for around two years until its emergence. They are quite vulnerable to water polution so their presence is usually a good indicator of water quality. Info: TVERC.

 

Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.
