Ode-vent Day 2


Beautiful Demoiselle (Calopteryx virgo) is the only other Calopteryx found in Belgium and most common in Wallonia, although a few individuals were found in Brussels this year, possibly indicating a northwards range expansion.  Males are told from the Banded Demoiselle by their solid black wings, while the wings of females are brownish.
