Saharan Blue-tailed Damselfly (Ischnura saharensis) also known as Sahara Bluetail can be seen in Fuerteventura, these small damselflies average from 26-31 millimetres in length and are easily identified by their extremely bright blue tails.
Both sets of the damselflies wings are the same size and shape unlike dragonflies whose hind wings are larger than the front set of wings.

Sahara Bluetails at Los Molinos
Saw at least fifty Saharan Blue-tailed Damselflies at Los Molinos with very bright blue tails, also there were exoskeletons shed by their larvae so I assume they lay their eggs in the freshwater pools here.
