Dragonflies and damselflies are conspicuous insects - many are large and
brightly coloured. Here for the first time is a comprehensive guide to the
Australian dragonfly fauna. The book includes identification keys not only for
adults but also for their larvae, commonly known as 'mud eyes' and often used as
bait for freshwater fish. With stunning full-colour images and distribution
maps, the book covers all 30 families, 110 genera and 324 species found in
Australia. Dragonflies are valuable indicators of environmental well-being. A
detailed knowledge of the dragonfly fauna and its changes is therefore an
important basis for decisions about environmental protection and management.
Their extraordinary diversity will interest entomologists and amateur
naturalists alike.
