CALOPTERYX VIRGO

Calopteryx virgo, the Beautiful Demoiselle dragonfly, is a large damselfly found across Europe and adjacent parts of the western Palearctic. It is associated especially with streams and rivers, including flowing waters with sand or gravel bottoms in British specialist sources. Males have metallic blue bodies and dark wings, while females are metallic green-bronze with paler brownish wings. Males also use conspicuous wing displays in social and sexual signalling, making colour and movement central to the species' visual identity.

Presented as a refined naturalist plate, this art print captures its metallic blue body, broad dark-tinted wings, and delicate form in precise detail. A unique piece for nature enthusiasts, collectors of scientific illustration, and interiors seeking elegance with meaning.
