Japanese Demoiselle
Atrocalopteryx atrata
Adults patrol shaded, clean streams bordered by forest, often perching on vegetation between flights. They catch small flying insects in the air and consume them from a perch. Males make short display flights and defend favored stretches of water from rivals. Their broad, dark wings give this damselfly a distinctive silhouette.
