Ebony Jewelwings (Calopteryx maculata) on the Lynn Valley Trail. The Male is the fully black-winged individual with bright metallic green body (from experience, the green colour can shift to blue from certain angles). The Female has white spots on her wings and a dull brown body. After mating, the female will lay eggs inside of aquatic plants. . . . . . . . #nature #ontario #ebonyjewelwing #calopteryx #calopteryxmaculata #damselflies #damselflymating #damselfliesofcanada #odonataphotography #odonataofnorthamerica #insects_of_our_world #insectslove #norfolkwild #blognorfolk #lynnvalleytrail #gonorfolk (at Lynn Valley Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR3bk5Pp5Hq/?utm_medium=tumblr
