Hi Randy et al ,
I also agree with the below mentioned guide by Bob McDonald . And yes the
2nd edition is now available . Two other guides I use co-jointly are the
following :
"Dragonflies of the North Woods" by Kurt Mead
"Damselflies of the North Woods " by Bob DuBois
Both are excellent guides in their own right also .
The Dragonflies of NS field checklist lists 88 species of dragonflies as of
2005. That number has now grown to I believe to 90 species of dragonflies
as of 2009 (total species =123 )
Hope this helps
Derek

Hi Randy et al,
My recommendation for a field guide to the odes remains:
"A Field Guide to the Dragonflies and Damselflies of Massachusetts" by Blair
Nikula, Jennifer Loose and Matthew Burne. It is published by the Natural
Heritage & Endangered Species Program of the MA Division of Fisheries &
Wildlife. I have the first edition, published in 2003, but I know that a
revised edition (second edition?) is now available.
It is available directly from the publisher, Route 135, Westborough MA
01581. The phone number I have for current prices and availability is (508)
792-7270, ext. 200. More info may be available from the web site:
www.masswildlife.org.
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. But I
believe that it's the best guide that includes both Anisoptera (dragonflies)
and Zygoptera (damselflies) for the Maritime Provinces. With the support
and expertise of Paul Brunelle, in 2005, the Halifax Field Nats published a
field checklist of the Dragonflies of Nova Scotia. This list includes 33
species of damselflies and 88 species of dragonflies (total species = 121).
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. The cost is $1.00
each (includes mailing).
Cheers,
Bob McDonald

All,
A student of mine wishes to get into dragonflies; do I remember an
announcement of a field guide to them recently? Any suggestions?
Randy
