| dragon- and damselfly families | ||

The taxonomy for dragon- and damselflies used on
this website is based on the World Odonata List as prepared by Schorr,
Lindeboom and Paulson on behalf of the Slater Museum of Natural History.

www.ups.edu/x6140.xml. Whilst
we have tried to stay in line with this list as far as possible, there
are a few minor amendments which we have made based on information
gleaned from elsewhere.
This website is regularly updated with new photos (both improvements on
existing species as well as additional species not featured before) and,
where there have been updates, an indication
