#624: Queen Malachite

The Queen Malachite is a species of damselfly. He makes his home near fern-lined streams, in the forests of South Africa. His range is limited, and deforestation has caused numbers to decline and earning him the classification of Near Threatened. Small and relatively inconspicious, males hover closest to the waters edge. Like all damselfly, he is a predator, hunting smaller insects.
