This striking damselfly is located in our Stumpery Garden. It is 10’ in length, 3’ in width and 10’ in height. The body is made up of carved red cedar, the wings are made up of willow on armature and the perch is black locust. This damselfly’s weight totals 100 pounds.
Did you know? Damselflies have some similarities to dragonflies including their carnivorous diet and the fact that they begin life underwater as in a nymph stage.
