Damselflies are insects in the sub-order Zygoptera, meaning ‘paired-wings’. All four wings are near enough equal in size and shape. In contrast, dragonflies are insects in the sub-order Anisoptera, meaning ‘unequal-winged’. Hind wings are usually shorter and broader than forewings.
The image was taken a few days ago at a pond in one of Basel’s recreational areas [Grün99].
