Description
Dragonfly watching has become a popular outdoor activity, and this easy-to-use little book is the ideal companion for anyone who wants to join the ranks of outdoor enthusiasts. Entomologist Robert Cannings describes the 88 species of dragonflies and damselflies found in BC and the Yukon, noting habitat preferences and distribution. Sharp colour photographs will help you identify most species, and drawings of distinguishing body parts will aid in narrowing down the ones that look similar.
This book will suit experienced dragonfly watchers and beginners alike. “It’s the perfect ‘starter kit’ for your interesting new hobby,” says Claudia Copley, writing for The Victoria Naturalist.
Robert Cannings explains how to tell the difference between and dragonfly and a damselfly, then shows readers where to find them and how to study them. Dragonfly watching is catching on. Take this book with you and set out in search of emeralds, bluets, spreadwings and darners.
