A team of sixteen contributed to this week's survey under very warm, humid and cloudy conditions. After a damselfly naiad molts and becomes an adult, its exoskeleton quickly hardens just enough to enable flight. At that stage, though, it still lacks its mature coloration and is referred to as teneral. Compare the teneral firetail to the two dancers shown below.
