If your interest in dragonflies includes damselflies, the best book is Ed
Lam's &quot;Damselflies of the Northeast&quot;. Although Nikula's Guide
that Bob recommends is excellent for dragonflies &amp; very useful for
damselfly id, Lam's shows all the colour phases which can help immensely
for those oddball individuals that crop up way too often.<br>
It can be found here:<br>

Ed Lam also has a site with many photos which are also helpful. View them

</font>&nbsp;<br>
<font size=2>My recommendation for a field guide to the odes
remains:<br>
&quot;A Field Guide to the Dragonflies and Damselflies of
Massachusetts&quot; by Blair Nikula, Jennifer Loose and Matthew
Burne.&nbsp; It is published by the Natural Heritage &amp; Endangered
Species Program of the MA Division of Fisheries &amp; Wildlife.&nbsp; I
have the first edition, published in 2003, but I know that a revised
edition (second edition?) is now available.<br>
It is available directly from the publisher, Route 135, Westborough MA
01581.&nbsp; The phone number I have for current prices and availability
is (508) 792-7270, ext. 200.&nbsp; More info may be available from the
web site:<br>
www.masswildlife.org.<br>
</font>&nbsp;<br>
<font size=2>The guide includes 90-95% of all species you are likely to
encounter in NS, and of course, includes some species not likely to be
found here.&nbsp; But I believe that it's the best guide that includes
both Anisoptera (dragonflies) and Zygoptera (damselflies) for the
Maritime Provinces.&nbsp; With the support and expertise of Paul
Brunelle, in 2005, the Halifax Field Nats published a field checklist of
the Dragonflies of Nova Scotia.&nbsp; This list includes 33 species of
damselflies and 88 species of dragonflies (total species = 121).&nbsp; It
is available from HFN but the simplest thing might be to contact me and I
will insure that one (or more) will be mailed to you.&nbsp; The cost is
$1.00 each (includes mailing).<br>
</font>&nbsp;<br>

<dd>All, <br><br>

<dd>A student of mine wishes to get into dragonflies; do I remember an
announcement of a field guide to them recently? Any suggestions?<br><br>
