Andrew’s presentation will introduce the order Odonata, their basic anatomy and life cycle and then a whistle-stop tour of all 32 and the wonderful world of demoiselles, emeralds, bluets, bluetails, redeyes, hawkers, emperors, chasers, skimmers and darters, their phenology and some identification tips. If time he will look at local hot spots and predict the future!
