The Azure Damselfly (Pyrrhosoma nymphula) is of the family Coenagrionidae which is in the genus Coenagrion.
It is the most abundant bluet in Europe and also occurs in parts of
northern
Africa and western Asia. It is absent from northern latitudes and from
eastern Iberia. The flight period is from April to September, peaking in
June and July.
When an insect becomes infected with entomopathogenic fungi, the host species subsequently dies as a result.
