Subject: [NatureNS] Questions re: Late Dragonflies

 

16 November 2009

While walking along Murphy Cove Road on the Prospect Peninsula yesterday I
encoutered two large darner dragonflies having a territorial dispute.   I
was unable to observe them at length, or take a photo, but this seems a late
date for dragonflies to still be on the wing.   What are the "normal" late
dates for dragonflies, and what darner species are seen so late in the
autumn?

Cheers,

Blake
