Regeneration of Appendages in Damselflies12

Abstract
While rearing Zygoptera during ecological studies on the Odonata, occasionally we observed that a naiad had lost 1 or more legs and/or gills (caudal lamellae). When this condition was noted it was recorded and notes were kept on the extent of regeneration that occurred in subsequent molts. No experimental studies were conducted. The following observations refer to Ischnura perparva Selys, I. cervula Selys, and Enallagma boreale Selys, except as noted.
