Description
Members of the Euphaeidae family, often called gossamer-winged damselflies, are iridescent jewels of the insect world, usually found darting alongside streams and water bodies in forested regions of Asia. The Euphaeidae exemplify specialization by flourishing under the cover of lush forests, where they contribute significantly to local ecosystems by preying on smaller insects, thus controlling their populations.
