Damselflies and Dragonflies are always a favourite among the art and craft industry, photography, framing, interior design, film, entertainment and educational purposes.

Important note before purchase: Damselflies and Dragonflies are very fragile insects. During the drying process legs, head and abdomens become very brittle. Body parts are prone to separate especially during the rehydration process. This is a common issue which necessitates various degrees of repair. We recommend PVA glue for repair. In some cases, a nylon rod is pushed through the thorax down into the abdomen to help secure the insect.
