A bluetail is either of two species of bird in the genus Tarsiger, or any of several species of damselfly in the genus Ischnura.
Jean Margaret Richardson has written: 'Behaviour in larval Ischnura verticalis (Odonata: Coenagrionidae)'
Eastern forktail damselfly is the common name of Ischnura verticalis.Specifically, the male of the species is yellow-green with light blue coloring attractively splashed over the eighth and ninth abdominal segments. The female also may be yellow-green. But she is much more likely to provide a bit more color than expected, with a conspicuous overall orange coloring.
Genes, which are segments of DNA, carry the information that controls traits on a chromosome. Each gene contains the instructions for making specific proteins that determine various characteristics or traits in an organism.
The dragonfly you are referring to is likely the white-tailed dragonfly (Ischnura elegans). It features a distinctive white or pale body and dark, almost black wings. This species is commonly found in various habitats, including ponds and marshes. Their striking appearance makes them easily recognizable among other dragonflies.
The blue-tailed damselfly, known scientifically as Ischnura elegans, has a body covered in tiny, overlapping scales that give it a vibrant coloration. These scales are primarily structural, reflecting light in a way that enhances the damselfly's blue and green hues. The scales also help with waterproofing and protection against predators. Additionally, the arrangement of these scales can vary among different color forms of the species.
