6 distinct species

Across the time series Enallagma cyathigerum is the most frequently occurring species

Methods

Damselflies were collected intensively over a timed period from around a pond where each row in the dataset is a single pond sampled on a single day. The number of individuals of each species caught on that day at that site was then divided by the catching time in minutes thus yielding density estimates in units of (individual captured / minute) Unit of abundance = CountPerMinute, Unit of biomass = NA
