A Fantastic Male Sapho ciliate taken at the Atewa Range Forest Reserve, Ghana on the 27th November 2011.

Comes from the same "Calopterygidae" family as the European and American ‘Calopteryx’. Inhabits medium to fast forest streams like Calopteryx virgo (Beautiful demoiselle) in the UK and Calopteryx maculata (Ebony Jewelwing) in the USA.

Doesn’t appear to have a Common Name, so if anyone has any ideas……..

Gardenia jasminoides (also known as Gardenia augusta) is a fragrant flowering evergreen tropical plant, a favorite in gardens worldwide. It originated in Asia and is most commonly found growing in Vietnam, Southern China, Taiwan, Japan and India. With its shiny green leaves and fragrant white summer flowers, it is widely used in gardens in warm temperate and subtropical climates. It has been in cultivation in China for at least a thousand years, and was introduced to English gardens in the mid 18th century. Many varieties have been bred for horticulture, with low growing, and large- and long flowering forms.
