Stream Spreadwings

Spreadwings are damselflies. When perched, mature adult spreadwings tend to
hold their wings partially spread instead of folded back like other damsels.

California's Stream Spreadwings belong to genus Archilestes. Two species are
known to occur in California; I have found only one of them in the Bay Area.
