Podopteryx selysi

Podopteryx selysi is a species of Australian damselfly in the family Megapodagrionidae,commonly known as a treehole flatwing. It can be found in coastal northern Australia and New Guinea, where its larvae live in water-filled holes in tree trunks in rainforest. Podopteryx selysi is a very large damselfly, black-metallic in colour with white to pink markings on its head and body.Like other members of the family Megapodagrionidae, it rests with its wings outspread. Unusually, and possibly uniquely for a damselfly, the hindwings of Podopteryx selysi are longer than its forewings. For other damselflies, forewings are usually marginally longer than hindwings.
