Damselflies are delicate, graceful insects that belong to the order Odonata. These insects are also known by various other names, including "dawnflies," "darning needles," "devil's darning needles," and "sparrowhawks." The term "dawnflies" is originated from the fact that they are often most active during the early morning or late evening when the sun is rising or setting. Similarly, "darning needles" comes from the belief that they sew people's mouths shut, and "devil's darning needles" as they were thought to sew the eyes of naughty children. Finally, "sparrowhawks" come from their exceptional hunting abilities and swift movements that resemble birds of prey. Regardless of their name, damselflies are mesmerizing creatures that are valuable to the environment.
