Ischnura chingaza is named after the Chingaza National Natural Park, where the species has been found.[1]
Description
Ischnura chingaza is a yellow-green to green species of damselfly with a total length of 25.5 to 26 millimetres (1.00 to 1.02 in).[5][6] The back part of the head is light yellow.[7] The labia are white.[8] The male samples described have black with light yellow compound eyes, while the eyes females are black with light blue.[6][7]
A study published in 2012 describes the behaviour of the larvae in a pond located in Cogua, Cundinamarca at an altitude of 2,842 metres (9,324 ft) and an average temperature of 14 °C (57 °F).[9] The eggs of Ischnura chingaza are oval in shape with a length of 0.89 millimetres (0.035 in) and a width of 0.18 millimetres (0.0071 in).[10] The egg stage of the species ranged from two weeks to one month.[11] The average larvae stage was 258.2 days, longer than of other species of Ischnura.[12][13]
