    This page contains pictures and information about Dragonflies and Damselflies that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia. To have a quick look on those beautiful animals, you can go to our Damsel Photo Gallery and Dragon Photo Gallery pages. For more details please proceed from below.
    The insect Order Odonata includes damselflies ( suborder Zygoptera ) and dragonflies ( suborder Anisoptera ). Most of them are medium to large size, body length from 15mm to 120mm. Their bodies are long and slender, usually with a bright metallic colour. All of them have two pairs of membranous wings . Their hind wings and forewings are more or less similar size and shape. When they are at rest, the dragonflies held out theirs wings horizontally while damselflies held their wings vertically. They have very small antennae but very large compound eyes. They have the small three eyes (ocelli) as well. Their mouths are very good at biting (they don't bite or sting human). Their eyes and mouth occupy almost all their head .

    The Cheshire Recording Scheme
    The data presented is based upon records submitted to the Cheshire Odonata recording scheme which was established in its current format by Richard Gabb in 1985. The scheme is based on recording sightings of Odonata with a measure of their breeding status based on observations of breeding behaviour and nymphs or exuviae. Recordings are mapped on a two kilometre square or Tetrad basis. If you are interested in taking part in the recording scheme or wish to submit records please email me

It may be found at the forest fringe, in secondary vegetation and other localities near water. I photographed this specimen in the Kuala Lumpur Lake Garden one late afternoon many years ago. Neurothemis fluctuans This dragonfly can usually be seen in localities where Neurothemis fluctuans is found. Could it be the female of this species? Although it has a different colour, this is a possibility as most dragonflies exhibit sexual dimorphism.

    Dragonfly Store Dragonfly Catalog Photos About This Site ... Damselflies of Texas is proud to host and sponsor D Photography of dragonflies is a time consuming endeavor. Whether the photographer is trying to capture a dragonfly on film in a natural setting or trying to frame an image in the studio, much time and film can be spent before the final print is available. Even then the vagaries of color processing can render an incorrect color balance. In laboratory photographs, depth of field can be a limiting factor that allows only a narrow plane of the specimen to be focused. Quality lighting to obtain the true colors of the specimen is also important and placement of flashes to ward off shadows and light the specimen is necessary. But when these technical skills are combined with an artists eye, the results are impressive. There is still recourse for those of us whose artistic eye is somewhat myopic. This is the use of a flatbed scanner. It requires some technical skill to use and may not be less expensive than photography, but will allow the collection of taxonomically useful images of dragonflies in color. Like photography, scanning does not necessarily harm the specimen and has the advantage of immediate electronic transferral. The technique is easy to learn and the following sections on specimen handling, software and hardware describe how to capture and view electronic images of the dragonflies.

    A Guide to this Web Site
    T hese pages are about Dragonflies and Damselflies in the UK - particularly in North Buckinghamshire. There are seven main sections. T his gives a brief narrative describing why I became interested in Dragonflies and Damselflies along with a few useful links. H ere you will find a diary of site visits made by me during the past months. This section is regularly updated during the summer months. M ilton Keynes in North Buckinghamshire has many good Odonata sites. This section describes some of them. A ll eighteen species of Odonata found in Milton Keynes are described in detail here. T his is a simple key to the species described. It has been designed for use by the amateur and I have tried to avoid "jargon" wherever possible. T here are many photographs of Dragonflies and Damselflies in these pages. You will find links to them at appropriate places and they are also tabulated here. They have all been saved as true colour JPEGs and for best results should be viewed with at least a high colour mode setting. They are viewable in 256 colour mode but won't look as good. L inks to other dragonfly and damselfly related sites and a list of books can be found here. The links and the bibliography relate mainly to British and Irish sites and books.

Bick (1957) divided the state into 4 general physiographic zones: (see fig 1.) the Pinelands, Alluvial, Prairie, and Deltaic plain. This scheme seems to work out well with regards to Odonata distribution. The pinelands zone is separated by the alluvial areas of the Mississippi and Red rivers into 3 separate sub- areas in this study: (1) the Southeast Pinelands, extending eastward from the Mississippi alluvial area into southern Mississippi; (2) the Northern Pinelands, bounded on the east by the Mississippi alluvial area and on the west by the Red River alluvial area (this area extends northward into Arkansas and continues up to the Ouachita foothills); and (3) the Western Pinelands extends from the Red River alluvial areas westward to Houston and Tyler, Texas, and into southeastern Oklahoma.
