Monomad: Delicate Jewel Damselfly

The jewel damselfly is a fascinating insect. Its habitat is mountainous areas with rocky stream environments. These photos were taken last October when we were walking in the hinterland of the Southwest forest of North Aceh. The fact that many of these damselflies are still found indicates that the surrounding environment is preserved; it has not been damaged by the massive clearing of oil palm plantations recently.
