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.

Introduction W atch these pages for information about Dragonflies and Damselflies in the UK - particularly in North Buckinghamshire. There are also pictures of dragonflies and a diary of site visits. Why did I choose Dragonflies? I n 1990, I decided to concentrate on one group of animals and try to get to know them well. All sorts of possibilities crossed my mind. Beetles? No, there are too many different sorts, thousands in the UK. Butterflies? No, everybody does them. Birds? Can't afford the telescope and the instant, drop everything trips to Fair Isle or the Scillies. After a little thought I decided to try dragonflies. I have always found them interesting to watch but didn't have a clue about identification and only knew a little about their habits and biology. D ragonflies are probably the ideal insect to begin with to learn identification skills. There are only thirty nine breeding species and two regular migrants found in the British Isles. They are relatively large and usually brightly and distinctively coloured. They can easily be observed with the naked eye or a pair of close focus binoculars on warm summer days. I'm not saying that identification is trivially easy, many of the damselflies need close inspection to be sure of the species, but they are certainly easier to identify than, say, beetles many of which look very similar indeed. A fter several years of watching dragonflies I have become reasonably competent at identifying most species. I'm not an expert, that becomes obvious when in the company of members of the

Swedish dragonflies Very welcome to the only Swedish dragonfly homepage! Dragonflies, those wonderful insects, colorful as the rainbow they fly just above the water surface, looking like some kind of helicopters. And like milliary helicopters they patrol their territory, as soon as another dragonfly is brave enough to enter the territory, a amazing air-battle begins. The more I study these fantastic insects the more interested and amazed I become. This site is made and maintained by Martin Peterson. I am not a professional odonatologist, dragonflies is just a hobby for me. I got interested in dragonflies in 1992. In 1996 I decided to start this site as there was no Swedish dragonfly site. The site started up in small scale, but have been expanded as soon as I have got ideas and time to write HTML-code. As it is getting harder and harder to find new ideas I welcome all kind of feedback from you who visits this site. What do you think is missing at this site? Please drop me a mail and tell me. There are about 5000 dragonflies around the world, 59 of those are

A large green and blue dragonfly flew past, then past again, wings glistening. “A darner,” Frank said. “Have you ever seen a dragonfly emerge from the larval stage? It's a miraculous thing. The larva climbs out of the water, on aquatic plants usually, and it's a dark, ugly bug. But then its skin cracks open and it fights its way free. At first it looks like it did in the larval stage. But it elongates and the wings sprout from little nubs on its back and it starts to assume its adult color. An hour later, you have an adult dragonfly. It's truly amazing.” “I'd like to see that,” she said dreamily.

Odonates are fearsome predators, but that doesn't keep them from sometimes becoming prey themselves! I spotted this female Roseate Skimmer ( Orthemis ferruginea ) hanging at an unusual angle through binoculars, but did not see the Green Lynx Spider ( Puecitia visidens ) eating it until I took a closer look! The little yellow dots in the webbing are baby spiders. From Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge near Alamo, TX, on the second day of the inaugural "Dragonfly Days" festival. Photos below marked with an N (for "new") are the most recently added ones. Identification Challenges Gomphus quadricolor? Randy Emmitt, Will Cook, and I thought this critter was G. exilis when we found it during a butterfly count in the Sandhills Gamelands of North Carolina in April 1999. However, the last few abdominal segments are dorsally black. G. exilis (see below) has some yellow markings here. The small clubtail normally found in the Sandhills in early spring, G. diminutus , should have tan legs; this one's legs look black. G. quadricolor

Home Page What we do Support us Wild Events ... Links London Wildlife Trust Registered charity no: © London Wildlife Trust Wildlife facts: dragonflies and damselflies Living fossils, dragonflies and damselflies are part of the most ancient group of insects on this planet. Originating over 300 million years ago, at a time when Britain's climate was subtropical and the vegetation very different from today's, the dragonflies and damselflies that filled the air would hove looked quite familiar to us. Most of Britain's original dragonflies and damselflies were exterminated by the cold of the last ice age after which recolonisation occurred from Europe. Since then they have watched the landscape change from one covered in primeval forest to a more open countryside as the trees were felled for farming. In this traditional agricultural landscape opportunities abounded for dragonflies and damselflies in the thousands of drainage ditches, farm ponds, canals, rivers and lakes. The picture shows an Emperor dragonfly and a common blue damselfly. Dragonflies perch with their wings extended whilst damselflies lie them along the abdomen.

Greg Lasley Nature Photography Dragonflies and Damselflies Below will be a collection of dragonfly and damselfly photos. Though I've photographed birds for 25+ years, the Odonata are all new subjects for me. Be patient as I add more species...thanks! My sincere thanks to John Abbott, Bob Behrstock, Ted Eubanks, Chuck Sexton and John Ingram for helping me learn more about the Odonates and for coaching me through many field identifications. The vast majority of the below photos are from Texas as of April, 2004, but I am adding several out-of-state images of odonates as I travel. Most of the photos displayed here are of wild bugs which were photographed totally free. There are a few exceptions, such as one of the Comanche Skimmer shots, some of the Ivory-striped Sylph images, the Blue-faced Darner, and a few others which were taken of a dragonfly "in hand" to show close-up detail of the thorax, etc. Any "in hand" shot will be obvious. None of the free shots of odes perched on a leaf or twig, etc., had been netted or "posed" in any fashion. Note: Within each group of odonates below, the insects are arranged alphabetically by genus and species.

The aim of the British Dragonfly Society is to promote and encourage the study and conservation of dragonflies and their natural habitats, especially in the United Kingdom. Enter Site We are an important wetland conservation society with three aims: Conservation - in the past 40 years Britain has lost three species of dragonfly and a third of the remainder are threatened with extinction in the UK. The BDS works to stop and reverse this trend. Education - we supply information to schools and students. "Learning about Dragonflies" is an education pack for teachers of 7-11yr olds with copyable worksheets. Free from Tim Beynon, 34 Church Lane, Checkley, Stoke-on-Trent, ST10 4NJ. Please enclose an s.a.e with 54p postage. Also available is a 60-slide pack with accompanying notes for those who frequently give lectures. The slides can be tailored to the audience, and the notes concentrate on the management required for the species and habitats shown. Available free from the BDS Conservation Officer, Caroline Daguet, English Nature, Attingham Park, Shrewsbury, Shrops, SY4 4TW. Our publications include two booklets: Dig a Pond for Dragonflies and Managing Habitats for Dragonflies Research - the Society actively supports research into the ecology, biology and behaviour of dragonflies and offers small grants for young student projects.
