Аннотация:Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) of wing venation has been studied in five populations of the damselfly Ischnura elegans (V.d. Lind.) for bioindication of the environment in 2010 and 2011. The seasonal and sexual features of FA have been assessed. Different characteristics of FA in the damselfly wings have been found not to correlate with each other. In order to explain differently directed changes in FA of damselflies from the populations studied, which were influenced by temperatureoxygen stress of 2010, the hypothesis of differ entiated death of specimens with shaky stability of development has been suggested. Possible use of FA as an
instrument of biomonitoring of the ecological quality of water reservoirs has been put into question.
