Another day, more beauty. This time they’re even named beautiful, Beautiful demoiselle, that is. Indeed, their scientific name, Calopteryx virgo, reflects how gorgeous their namer thought them: Calopteryx is a combination of the Greek words for beautiful, kalòs, and wings, pteryx.

With their glistening metallic bodies and intricate lace-like wings, these damselflies really do live up to that name. The male, shown above, boasts an iridescent blue body and dark wings. The female, below, is an equally showy bronze-green with a brownish tinge to her wings. Truly, a beautiful couple!
