TY - BOOK T1 - Field Guide to the Larvae and Exuviae of British Dragonflies: Damselflies (Zgypotera) and Dragonflies (Anisoptera) Y1 - 2012 A1 - S Cham SP - 152pp KW - Odonata AB -

This field guide aids the identification of dragonfly and damselfly larvae and exuviae without the need for keys. It is fully illustrated with close-up colour photographs of all the key distinguishing features. It includes information on where to find larvae and exuviae and emergence periods for each species. In this new volume, two new species, dainty damselfly Coenagrion scitulum and Southern migrant hawker Aeshna affinis, have been added. A new appendix for willow emerald Lestes viridis shows extra features on the exuvia and the scars left by ovipositing females. There have also been revisions to other pieces of text, but the overall format of this book matches the earlier field guides.

Dragonflies and damselflies are a remarkable group of insects, and a conspicuous summer sight over most waterbodies. Although many species of dragonfly and damselfly are doing well, almost a third of British and Irish species are in decline and in need of conservation effort. This atlas shows the distribution and reviews the recent status of the 57 species found in Britain and Ireland
