An immature female River Jewelwing, Calopteryx aequabilis displaying the bright metallic green and red on his face that is caused by the surface micro-structure rather than by pigments. As this species ages the facial colors may dull or darken. The eyes will also darken. Many species of damselflies and dragonflies display bright structural coloration on their heads. A focus stacked image shot with a Mitutoyo M Plan APO 5x infinity objective and Nikon D810 DSLR camera.

DOES ANYONE READ THESE OR CARE? A mature female River Jewelwing damselfly, Calopteryx aequabilis on Cox Creek, Albany, Oregon. The eyes have darkened as she matured and the bright metallic structural colored patches have also darkened, while the base of each antennae and several patches on the face have become bright cream-colored patches. Her wing membranes have darkened and the veins are dark green and there is a bright white pseudostigma. DOES ANYONE READ THESE OR CARE?

An immature male River Jewelwing damselfly, Calopteryx aequabilis on Cox Creek, Albany, Oregon. The eyes will darken quickly as he matures until they are almost entirely deep black, much darker than the female's mature eye color. The metallic structural colors on the face will mostly darken until they look mostly black, while the metallic green on the body will darken but still be a spectacular metallic dark blue/green. Males engage in complex aerial lekking displays for watching females.

An immature female River Jewelwing damselfly, Calopteryx aequabilis on Cox Creek, Albany, Oregon. The eyes will darken as she matures and the bright metallic structural colored patches will also darken, while the base of each antennae and several patches on the face will become bright whitish patches. Her wings were bright copper reflections of the morning sun on her maiden flight.

Wat een opvallende verschijning in onze achtertuin. Obsidentify zegt: weidebeekjuffer en gezien de plaatjes op internet geloof ik dat. Mijn dag is goed 😊
