New Species Sighting: Great Spreadwing
Posted by Vonda on July 24, 2020
Tonight a new species of damselfly was spotted in our backyard gardens. This one is a Great Spreadwing.
He is an immature male, immature because the eyes are still brown and not blue, male because of the pale abdomen tip and male appendages. The Great Spreadwing is the largest damselfly species in North America. He was so large that at first glance, I thought he was a dragonfly, until I got a good look at the body and head shape.
