GOBLET-MARKED
OR BLUE-EYE DAMSELFLIES Erythromma lindenii (m, f)
·
The
Goblet-marked or Blue-eye Damselfly Erythromma
lindenii has recently been reclassified,
paradoxically to the genus Erythromma
(red-eyed damselflies), and, as may be inferred from the translation of the
generic name, this does not accurately describe the colour of the bright blue
eyes of this insect! The photograph is not an ideal illustration for
identification purposes (particularly of the out-of-focus female!) but it does
show the relevant markings on the head, thorax, and most of the abdomen of the
male.
