Here are a few more photos from our recent trip to Grand Marias, MN.  Most damselflies are pretty inconspicuous; they are small, with clear wings, and easy to overlook.  So, this Ebony Jewelwing really caught my eye when it flew into view.  The white spots on the wings identify it as a female.  The male is all black.  It prefers to be along small to medium-sized forest streams which are common in the northeastern part of Minnesota.
