Eastern Forktail (Immature Female)- Ischnura verticalis I found this gorgeous, little damselfly stuck in plant - it was dead. I&#039;m not sure why it died, but dead it certainly was. Immature females have a bright orange thorax with black dorsal and shoulder stripes; abdomen orange at base and black above. She was about 2 - 2.5 cm long.<br /> <br /> Habitat: Rural garden<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/70422/eastern_forktail_immature_female-_ischnura_verticalis.html" title="Eastern Forktail (Immature Female)- Ischnura verticalis"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3232/70422_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=pFhclgjFSrgagAioC5W%2BeY8KQfg%3D" width="200" height="148" alt="Eastern Forktail (Immature Female)- Ischnura verticalis I found this gorgeous, little damselfly stuck in plant - it was dead.
