Spreadwing

This damselfly is probably a Lestes virens ssp. vestalis, the small emerald spreadwing. Even though this was taken in a shadowy area you can really see the gold shimmer on its body.

Bug of the Day

A spreadwing damselfly from my yard last August. Unfortunately, the darned thing did not stay still long enough for a full set of Glamour Shots™. So thanks to Nick Block, Joshua Stuart Rose, and others for tentatively getting the id to at least a female Lestes, and possibly Lestes congener, the spotted spreadwing.

Decided to just upload whatever I managed to do today even its a bit unfinished.

I was struggling for a title for my story, so I’m going with the ships name. I randomly found out that another word for damselfly in the US is spreadwing, and quite frankly that’s the coolest name for a ship ever. Though my story takes influence from many facets of my childhood, nes games are probably the biggest inspiration so yay! fake title screen!

(Cannot help but think that this spreadwing damselfly is laughing at somebody else on the sheet ;-))
