Hi there,
Love your site. My kids are budding entomologists and we spend our summers finding bugs all day. This one was so pretty I thought i’d send you the picture. Looked it up on your site to find out – i’m pretty sure – an ebony jewelwing damselfly. The photo doesn’t do the colors justice – it was so metallic and bright. Very cool bug.

Dear Franke family,
Thanks for submitting your photo of an Ebony Jewelwing, Calopteryx maculata, one of the Damselflies. The hand provides a nice sense of scale.
