Ep. 163 : Ebony Jewelwings

<p>Ebony Jewelwings (<em>CIalopteryx maculata)</em> are beautiful, which is one of the reasons they are so interesting to watch. I have seriously sat for hours watching them, photographing them and trying to learn from observing what is going on. I have mostly come away with questions.</p> <p>In light of my own questions and many from friends I have decided to try and research a little bit more about these beautiful broadwinged Damselflies in hopes that I can learn a little bit more and help answer some of those pressing questions.</p> <p>So come along for the flight and enjoy learning more about the natural history and interesting ecology of the Ebony Jewelwing.</p> <p>Books I read from:</p> <p><a href="https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691122830/dragonflies-and-damselflies-of-the-east" target="_blank">Dragonflies and Damselflies of the East by Dennis Paulson</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.littlebrown.com/titles/lillian-stokes/stokes-guide-to-observing-insect-lives/9780316817271/" target="_blank">A Guide To Observing Insect Lives by Donald Stokes</a></p> <p><a href="https://mwpubco.com/product/a-guide-to-common-freshwater-invertebrates-of-north-america/" target="_blank">A Guide To Common Freshwater Invertebrates of North America by J.
