Damselflies (suborder Zygoptera) are insects in the order Odonata. Damselflies are similar to dragonflies,
but the adults can be distinguished by the fact that the wings of most
damselflies are held along, and parallel to, the body when at rest.
Furthermore, the hind wing of the damselfly is essentially similar to the
fore wing, while the hind wing of the dragonfly broadens near the base.
Damselflies are also usually smaller than dragonflies and weaker fliers
in comparison, and their eyes are separated. (Source : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damselfly )
