FAMILY COENAGRIONIDAE
- This page contains information and pictures about Red and Blue Damselflies that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.
-
 - Body length 40mm
-
- The Red and Blue Damselflies have the bright red face and thorax. Their
abdomen is pale colour, with blue rings at tail. Female is almost the same
colours as male, which is quite uncommon in damselflies.
-
  -
- Red and Blue Damselfly larvae only live in still water. We found the Red and Blue Damselflies
along the water edge near the lake inside Minnippi Park, Tingalpa, where is
the exit of Bulimba Creek, about to meet the Brisbane River.
-
 -
- We also found this damselfly in Carbrook Wetland.
