Aurora Bluetail Damselfly - Ischnura aurora

FAMILY COENAGRIONIDAE

This page contains information and pictures about Aurora Bluetail Damselflies that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.

Male, body length 23mm

Aurora Bluetail Damselflies are the very tiny damselflies. However, the males are beautifully have the colour of the rainbow. The head and thorax are from green to yellow, the abdomen is from yellow to orange to red. There is the bright blue at the tip. The back of the thorax is black. The females are pale grey in colour.

We usually find them among the vegetations along Bulimba Creek. They may be attracted by windows light. We found a male once fly into our house, where is a kilometer away from the nearest creek.
