Real-world information[edit]
Damselflies are insects of the suborderZygoptera in the orderOdonata. They are similar to dragonflies, which constitute the other odonatan suborder,Anisoptera, but are smaller, have slimmer bodies, and most species fold the wings along the body when at rest, unlike dragonflies which hold the wings flat and away from the body. An ancient group, damselflies have existed since at least the Lower Permian, and are found on every continent except Antarctica.
