Robust Threadtails - Neoneura
 These are
elongate damselflies with a slightly heavier body than the Slender Threadtails. They may be
confused with pond damsels because of their size and thoracic colorations.
Males are generally brightly colored in combinations of black,
yellow and orange. Females are generally duller than their male
counterparts and shorter bodied than the Slender Threadtails.
Tandem pairs can be observed hovering over slow
moving water but also may be found far from shorelines perched on tree
leaves. Ovipositing is generally done on top of floating wood
plants stems, logs, almost anything laying in the middle of the water.
While ovispositing the male is supported by the female.
Larvae occur mostly in lotic waters, and have been
observed clinging to stones in streams. Others have been seen in
vegetation or coarse detritus in pools.
