Territorial males have larger wing spots than non-territorial males in the damselfly Calopteryx splendens (Zygoptera: Calopterygidae)

These different mating tactics are shown to vary between males within the same population and previous studies have shown that territorial males have considerably higher fitness than non-territorial males.
