eh...?

DON'T USE NO DOUBLE NEGATIVES!

What the ...?

I keep seeing these things and I always wonder
if they are a butterfly　蝶　or a dragonfly 蜻蛉

Well it turns out that the "Ebony Jewelwing" ハグロトンボ
is neither, its a damselfly. I had never heard of this kind
of insect before. The difference between a dragonfly and
a damselfly is that when not flying, a dragonflies wings stick
out perpendicular to its body, but when a damselfly is not
flying it folds its wings parallel to its body. WOW!!!
But I have a question for you, what does the ハグロ　mean?
It sounds like お歯黒　BLACK TEETH !? What !?!?
It is black but why black TEETH dragonfly?
Or am I just mistaken...?
