Synopsis
Visit any pond on a summer day and the air will be alive with dragonflies and damselflies - shimmering aerobatic daredevils that dart above the water and even into nearby fields and woodlands. Organized for easy use in the field, this abundantly illustrated guide, with more than 400 color photographs, is the first to cover Georgia's dragonflies and damselflies (odonates). It details more than 150 species - species that are also the ones most likely to be seen throughout the U.S. Southeast north of Florida. The guide first explains dragonfly and damselfly body parts, taxonomy, life cycles, and habitats; discusses conservation issues; and offers tips on observing and photographing odonates. Later chapters, organized according to the ten odonate families, such as spreadwings, darners, spiketails, and emeralds, provide general family information followed by accounts of individual species. The beautifully illustrated species accounts describe general appearance and key identification features, distribution, habitats, life history and behavior, and conservation.Supplementary materials include suggestions for the best places to watch odonates in Georgia, a comparative listing of species' level of endangerment, and the date range during which each species can be seen. Odonates are easy to find and observe, and because they display an astounding variety of colors, sizes, and behaviors, they are popular with birders, butterfly watchers, and other nature enthusiasts. This guide will be welcomed by everyone who wants to learn about odonates and their habitats and what can be done to help protect them. Included in species accounts are: beautiful, detailed photos that show odonates from angles important to determining species, sex, or age; common and scientific names; important features for field identification, with tips on distinguishing between similar-looking species; typical behavior of the species, including breeding and feeding habits; occasional commentary on taxonomy or other notable features; and, colorful quick guide, with a range map, incidence information, sizing graphics, and flight period information.Additional features include: listing of twenty ideal sites around the state for odonate watching; notes on infrequently sighted species; ratings for each odonate's conservation status, from most critically imperiled to most stable species; chronological listing of flight dates; listing of additional resources: books, organizations, Web sites, and equipment suppliers; and, a glossary and index.

Wonderful resource

Format:Taschenbuch
Finally a southeastern regional field guide to the odonata. This is a wonderful field guide covering the dragonflies and damselflies of Georgia but useful for anyone in the southeast. Large pictures showing color and sexual variations, range maps, flight time charts as well as text descriptions for identifications are all easy to access and read for all species. This is truly an asset to those interested in dragonflies and damselflies.

Good guide
1. November 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Great guide on odanates. Great photos of both male and female odes laid out well. Photos at times give dorsal and lateral views. Bulky for the field though, but stick it in a backpack and it works. Bought this for a trip to the south, but its not just for the south, I'm in New York and it has plenty of species seen here. Worth the money, very informative.
