Damselflies are insects that are found most often or close to aquatic or semi-aquatic habitats. They are also the places of their reproduction.

The larva is adapted to aquatic life. The shape of their bodies is slender and haily. Larvae are carnivorous. They are also preyed upon by many predators such as amphibians, fish and other insect larvae. At the end of her larval development, she leaves the aquatic environment in search of support to begin her moulting. But the predation that the damsel undergoes does not stop at the larval stage. Once it is rid of its exuvia, it can fall prey to fish, birds, insects, spiders and reptiles.

Males are found in large quantities at breeding grounds. Only males with the best attributes (cerques) and strategies will have a better chance of breeding. They are territorial by keeping other males at bay. But they will also have to keep in touch with the female. Either by staying close to her and being sure that she does not mate elsewhere or then he settles permanently with the female until laying her eggs.
