Dragonflies

About This Group

A group for photographs of those most beautiful of all insects, the Dragonflies.

This group will accept real Dragonfly PHOTOGRAPHS ONLY,
and only those of high technical and artistic quality.
Photographs with excessive digital alterations may not be accepted.
Some photographs will not be accepted; please do not take it personally and feel free to submit different Dragonfly photos.

If possible, please include the species name (common and Latin) and the location, but this is not required for acceptance.

For Dragonfly and Damselfly identification, you can try
Odonata Central
Click on the Checklists page and enter your location for a list of all Odonata species known to inhabit your area.

Another great reference site for North American Odonata is Greg Lasley’s site, featuring hundreds of species all photographed and identified by
Lasley: Greg Lasley

If your photo is not accepted, it may be because it’s actually a
Damselfly (Order: Odonata; Suborder: Zygoptera).
For Damselflies, please see the group Damselflies- Zygoptera
