Further illustrations and information about these dragonflies have been provided on other pages with the exception of: the Yellow-winged Darter The Brown Hawker , a common large brown insect with fairly indistinct blue and yellow markings most evident in the male and an amber tint to the wings. These dragonflies are confined to the southern half of Britain where they may be observed almost ceaselessly patrolling. They are fiendishly difficult to approach for photography and the best opportunities are often presented by ovipositing females (as shown). The flight period is later than that of the similar Norfolk Hawker (see Dragonflies and Damselflies 3 and ) with little or no overlap in July.

@import url("../stylesheets/explore_adv.css"); Fact sheets Back to Explore Back to Fact Sheets Dragonflies and Damselflies Suborders Anisoptera and Zygoptera Order Odonata Red dragonfly. Photo: B Hulbert. Dragonfly. Photo: B Hulbert. Dragonflies and damselflies are large, conspicuous insects often found close to fresh water. The Order Odonata is divided into two suborders, the Anisoptera containing the dragonflies, and the Zygoptera containing the damselflies. Odonata closely resemble the oldest flying insects known from fossils. These fossil 'dragonflies' were very large, with one species reaching 71 cm in wingspan. Identification Adult dragonflies are generally stout bodied and when at rest spread their wings out to the sides. Damselflies are generally more delicate and hold their wings along their body when at rest. The larval stages of the two suborders can be distinguished by the placement of the gills. Dragonfly larvae suck water into their abdomen and move it over their internal gills. Damselfly larvae have gills at the end of the body as three appendages. Habitat and Biology Like many insects, the larval and adult stages of dragonflies and damselflies differ in their shape and behaviour and use different habitats.

Ocharán Larrondo D Taxonomy and nomenclature Nomenclature and systematic treatment largely follows that of the most comprehensive, readily available and up to date treatment of the group in English (Askew 2004), but updated with some recent changes in systematic treatment regarding a few species noted by Mill et al B and Ocharán Larrondo. Given these mainly minor discrepancies between lists (e.g. C. xanthostoma A. isosceles C. boltonii ), alternative scientific names are noted (and sourced) where significantly different. Delicate Skimmer Diplacodes lefebvrei English vernacular names are mostly those in Mill et al .

Characteristics These often brightly coloured, fast flying insects are well known and easily recognised. Dragonflies and damselflies are medium to large insects with body lengths ranging from 15-120 millimetres. They are often seen flying rapidly over streams and lakes, or through gardens at dusk often following regular flight paths every day. Dragonflies and damselflies can be recognised by the following features: Abdomen long and slender Large compound eyes 3 ocelli Very small antennae Mandibulate mouthparts Two pairs of membranous wings of similar shape and size. In dragonflies the hind wings are slightly broader than the forewings where as damselflies have both wings more or less similar size. Wings held horizontally to the body in dragonflies and vertically in damselflies when at rest Complex wing venation with many cells Dragonfly Damselfly Note above how the wings are held horizontally to the body in dragonflies and vertically to the body in damselflies. The larvae of both dragonflies and dobsonflies are aquatic and bear only a slight similarity to the adults. They are wingless and have a broader more flattened body shape. Dragonflies have gills within their body while damselflies have 3 leaf-like gills protruding from the end of the abdomen.

They are also among the most primitive of the flying insects. They spend their childhood in the water being predaceous, and their adulthood in the air being predaceous. They are valuable consumers of large quantities of flies and other pests.

73. Dragonflies And Damselflies Of Fiji As well as dragonflies, there were also quite a few damselflies at Koroyanitu. Like dragonflies, male damselflies have hooks at the end of their abdomen http://www.richard-seaman.com/Insects/Fiji/Odonata/

Dragonflies and Damselflies of Fiji One of the first dragonflies I came across in Fiji remains one of my favourites, it revels in the Latin name Agrionoptera insignis . Around the world it's very common to come across green dragonflies, and quite common to come across red dragonflies, but it's not so common to find one which is red and green - in fact this is the first one that I can recall, and I only saw one of this species while I was in Fiji. This particular individual was quite a long way up a ridge on a logging track behind Silktail Lodge at Devo on the Tunuloa Peninsula, which is also known as the Natewa or Cakaudrove Peninsula. This species isn't endemic to Fiji, instead several different sub-species are found throughout Asia. Look closely and you'll notice that this dragonfly is only standing on four of its legs, and it has its other two legs tucked up behind its eyes. This anatomical or behavioural characteristic is also seen amongst quite a number of butterflies. Here's one of those common green dragonflies I told you about, a Green Skimmer or

Wisconsin Dragonflies and Damselflies Welcome to Wisconsin Odonata Survey! The goal of this survey is to gain more knowledge about the distributions and habitat requirements of our 160+ species of dragonflies and damselflies (Order Odonata). In order for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) to protect the natural resources of the state, we need to know what habitats are critical, especially for rarer species. A number of our species are either rare or of a special concern, or are federally listed as threatened or endangered. In addition, many habitats have not been well surveyed. Within the last 15 years, two species new to science have been found in the state. Citizen volunteers are needed because there are far too many habitats to check for the few professionals who work with Odonata.

Invertebrates of the Rideau River: Meet dragonfly and damselfly nymphs. Algae Amphibians Invertebrates Mussels ... Exotic Species Aquatic Invertebrates Dragonflies Damselfly nymph of the genus Enallagma . Notice the three long leaf-shaped gills at the hind end of its body. Class: Insecta - Insects Order: Odonata - Odonates (Dragonflies and damselflies) Family: Libellulidae - Common skimmers Characteristics of the family: Nymphs are crawlers that move about slowly in dense vegetation and bottom debris. They are usually long-legged and dull in colour. Interesting facts: Dragonfly nymph of the genus Erythemis Dragonflies are divided into two main groups: dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera). Adult damselflies usually rest with their wings folded upwards, whereas dragonflies hold their wings horizontally outwards. Damselfly nymphs have three external leaf-like gills at the end of the body, whereas dragonfly nymphs do not. Damselfly adults and nymphs are smaller and more slender than dragonfly adults and nymphs. Representative genus: Dragonflies of the genus Erythemis (described here in their nymph stage) Description Nymphs are short and broad with long legs. Unlike many in this family, animals in this genus lack dorsal hooks on the abdomen. Because they are such slow-moving, sedentary animals, they are often fouled, or coated with a layer of algae or sand that persists until the animal moults.

79. Dragonflies & Damselflies damselflies and dragonflies are members of the insect order Odonata. Both have chewing mouthparts, bristlelike antennae, very long slender bodies with 4 http://gardenline.usask.ca/misc/dragonfl.html

GardenLine Porpourri - Miscellaneous Bonnie Willie In the last few weeks it may appear that mosquitoes have taken over Saskatchewan. A stroll in the park can no longer be considered enjoyable. Children must wear long, baggy clothing in order to enjoy outdoor play, no matter what the temperature. But, as mosquito populations rise, the number of dragonflies also tend to increase. Some people consider dragonflies and its smaller relative the damselflies, to be ugly, bothersome pests, but upon closer inspection, one realizes the beauty contained within their fine wings, and soon begins to appreciate their aggressive role in natural mosquito control. Description: Damselflies and dragonflies are members of the insect order Odonata. Both have chewing mouthparts, bristle-like antennae, very long slender bodies with 4 long and narrow wings. The wings are net-veined of equal size or slightly smaller. Both are similar in appearance, but the damselfly tends to be much smaller and more delicate in construction. The dragonfly's body tends to be wider with stiffer wings. The only other real difference between the two is the manner in which they hold their wings. Dragonflies hold their wings perpendicular (at a 900 angle) to their body when at rest, whereas the damselfly will hold their wings behind them, parallel with the rest of their body. Adults of both the damselfly and dragonfly are usually found near water. The nymphs or immatures live in the water. Both nymphs and adults are predators, devouring mosquitoes, midges and other small annoying insects. Adult dragonflies will try to bite if handled by humans and if the dragonfly is quite large, a painful pinch may result.
