The wings look black for the most part but reflect blue back at certain angles as you can see. When they flutter, you get glimses of this blue, but for the most part, they look black. The bodies do look very cool in color though. A sort of metallic neon green as well as the blue on the top part. Although I don't like insects that much, I thought these looked pretty cool.Amami Supermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11475719827384411096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-756762554076215586.post-23997841767440246982010-08-31T15:43:19.400+09:002010-08-31T15:43:19.400+09:00That is a damselfly (belong in the same order, Odo...That is a damselfly (belong in the same order, Odonata (just found out), as a dragonfly), which I do not think I have seen before, not with those rich dark blue wings.<br /><br />I was aware of the eye position difference but not of <a href="http://insects.about.com/od/identifyaninsect/a/dragonordamsel.htm" rel="nofollow">others</a>.parvhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/bitteralmonds/noreply@blogger.com
