Field characters: Tot 45-49mm, Ab 31-42mm, HW 24-36mm.\nThe largest and darkest Calopteryx, with almost entirely metallic cobalt wings in males and transparently greenish to deep ebony wings in females. The flight is butterfly-like, but heavier than in C. splendens, and the species is more often seen in deep forest shade.\nOccurrence:\nLocally common, east to the Urals. Absent from large areas in the south, e.g. many major islands, and in Anatolia mainly limited to coastal areas; rare on the plateau.\nHabitat: \nPrefers cooler running waters than other Calopteryx, typically small, more shaded or at higher latitudes: small forest streams are the classic habitat. Where streams broaden or open up, C. virgo gives way to C. splendens.\nFlight Season: May to late September.

Dragonflies and damselflies are not just mesmerizing aerial acrobats; they play a crucial role in maintaining ecological sustainability. As natural predators, they help control mosquito and pest populations, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. Their presence also indicates clean water and healthy ecosystems, making them vital indicators of environmental health. Protecting their habitats supports biodiversity and promotes sustainable ecosystems.\nLocation: Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh (India)
