The common blue damselfly is very common and very blue. It is an insect which primarily inhabits freshwater habitats, such as slow flowing streams, lakes and regularly visits garden ponds. The blue damselfly is one of the most common damselflies found throughout the UK and the male is pale blue with bands of black along the body and the common. The common blue damselfly, like all damselflies and dragonflies has two huge compound eyes (30,000 individual facets). The eyes are so large, they take up most of the head, and 80% of the brain deals with visual information. Damselflies hold their wings together above their abdomens when at rest, whilst dragonflies on the other hand, have much broader abdomens and hold their wings out at right angles to their bodies when at rest
