Coenagrionidae

The family Coenagrionidae has six subfamilies: Agriocnemidinae, Argiinae, Coenagrioninae, Ischnurinae, Leptobasinae, and Pseudagrioninae.

[4] The Coenagrionidae enjoy a worldwide distribution, and are among the most common of damselfly families.

Adults are seen around various habitats including ponds and wetlands.

The females lay their eggs among living or dead submerged vegetation, and in some species, even crawl about underwater depositing their eggs.

The nymphs are usually found in debris or among living or dead submerged plant material.
