Dragonflies & Damselflies of Aruba Theo Muusse - the Netherlands

Rambur's Forktail is a common damselfly around the Caribbean.
On Aruba it is found whenever there is water. It also visits semi-salty waters like the ponds on Noord-Aruba and near the Natural Bridge.
Ovipositing females have been found too, also on most waters and for example many at Bubali and at the sewage pool in Noord-Aruba where no less than 16 copula were counted during one visit. The species needs floating vegetation to lay her eggs in.
The fresh male found at Pirikichi was brilliantly apple-green in coloration and transparant, suggesting it was 'born' that day.

Rambur's Forktail (Ischnura ramburii). Aruba. Female.
