Members of this family are commonly called broad-winged damselflies or jewelwings. In my opinion, these look like species which one would encounter in tropical climes rather than central Illinois. Yet, here they are.
Calopteryx maculata (Beauvois, 1807) [Ebony jewelwing] (Peoria Co.) Note: This species shows some sexual dimorphism. Females have a white spot near the tips of the wings; males lack these spots.
