maddog48 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2007 I'm sure other more qualified folks will chime in before too long but I believe the first 3 pics are damsel flies. :dunno: Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JSzymczyk 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 I read an entomology forum called insectnet.com they have a "what bug is this?" forum where you can post your pics, and somebody will know to the species and subspecies what you have. maddog is right, the first three are damsels. I'm not real good with the odonata, lepidoptera are my major focus. Those are some really great photos too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dale 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 You're right on the first 3 pics: damsels (Order Odonata, suborder Zygoptera (sp?). The others (except the spider) are true dragon flies: suborder Anisoptera (sp?). I haven't had to spell those in a long time! Great pics! Keep them coming!
