Damselflies are insects and have six legs.

This Ebony Jewelwing damselfly is one of 170 damselfly species in New England. It is one of only five nearactic (arctic and temperate parts of North America and Greenland) species of the Calopteryx genus. They are pretty noticeable as they fly about because their wings are solid black.
