The superb jewelwing (Calopteryx amata) is a species of damselfly in the family Calopterygidae. It is native to North America, where it is distributed in eastern Canada and the northeastern United States as far south as Tennessee.[1]
The superb jewelwing is about 2 inches long. The male is bright metallic green with amber markings on its wings. The female is bronze-tinged with greenish wings tipped in white. The adult is active in June and July. Adults and nymphs eat smaller insects.[2]
This species lives along clear rivers and streams with vegetation nearby. The males are territorial. This species may be found with dragonflies of the genus Ophiogomphus.[1]
