Western Red Damsel
(five photos)
Amphiagrion abbreviatum

I'm posting this crumby picture only to show the eyes of this
tiny Red Damsel. This was not taken with a flash so
the colors are true. Supposedly, these little damselflies do not
have eyes spots but this one does. Interesting.
Antelope Island is where this little insect calls home. ©

Rescued Male Western Red Damsel on Antelope
Island. This
little guy was caught in a spider web and still has some of the web
on his wing. He paused long enough to thank me and let me take a
couple of photos. Very cute. © Carol Davis, 5-31-2009
