An Bhéchuil

Tá béchuileanna cosúil le snáthaidí móra, ach ar fos, coinníonn siad a sciatháin le hais agus cothrománach lena gcorp, agus tá siad níos lú agus níos laige le linn eitilte go ginearálta. Déanann na haosaigh a n-uibheacha a bhreith in uisce, áit a fhorbraíonn an tréimhse nimfí, ag beathú ar orgánaigh bheaga uiscí.  


Damselfly

Damselflies are similar to dragonflies, but at rest their wings are held alongside and parallel to their bodies, and they are generally smaller and weaker in flight. Adults lay their eggs in water, where the nymphal stage develops, feeding on small aquatic organisms.
