The Variable Damselfly is a reasonable large (33mm) damselfly superficially
similar to the Azure and both species may be found in the same habitat
and even sharing perches.
The male usually has a break in the ante-humeral stripes, although this
isn't always the case. Males also have a goblet-shaped marking on S2
although this - as in the name - can also be variable.
Females are blue with more extensive black
markings, with age-related
colour differences. |
