Tying a fishable realistic damselfly larva fly pattern. Damselflies belong to the order Odonata. The main families within this order include Zygoptera (damselflies) and Anisoptera (dragonflies). Damselflies are found in various ecozones worldwide.
Damselfly larvae, also known as nymphs, are aquatic and undergo incomplete metamorphosis. They inhabit freshwater environments like ponds, lakes, and streams. The larval stage can last several months to years, depending on the species. Damselfly larvae are carnivorous, feeding on small aquatic organisms like insect larvae and tadpoles. They play a crucial role in freshwater ecosystems as both predators and prey.
