Description
The ebony jewelwing is a species of broad-winged damselfly. One of about 150 similar species, it is found in the eastern U.S. and southeastern Canada, ranging west to the Great Plains. Other common names include black-winged damselfly. Ebony jewelwings mate in the summer. The male holds the female behind her head with his tail or abdomen. The female lays eggs in the soft stems of aquatic plants. The damselfly shelters among various plants and algaes in its habitat. This irridescent beauty was spotted along a creek in Cades Cove in mid summer. After spending quite a while attempting to capture just the right shot, I decided that I might not have sufficient patience for the task, but shortly after that she lit and stayed just long enough for a couple quick takes.
