FAMILY COENAGRIONIDAE

Damselflies that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.

green thorax and head.

Although they are sharp in colour, they are not easily
seen. They usually hiding among the grass near the waters. We found the damselfly
once along Moolabin Creek.

Few years later in October, we saw the second Big Red Damselfly in Yugarapul Park near
Bulimba Creek. It was hiding in dense vegetations.

The damselfly flied slowly and did not care too much on our approaching.
