A Swarming Welcome to Michigan

by Bryan on July 26th, 2010

A dead deer and a shredded tire (not mine) were the “Welcome to Michigan” icons when I crossed the Ohio line on Interstate 75 south of Detroit. Ten miles later I pulled off at a rest area and official welcome center. Greeting me was a nice swarm of dragonflies. Here’s the video and images of the three species in the swarm: Anax junius (Common Green Darner), Pantala flavescens (Wandering Glider) and Pantala hymenaea (Spot-winged Glider).

    Hi Jean,

    Nothing formal. If you’re looking for a field guide, go with Blair Nikula’s guide to Massachusetts:
    http://www.odenews.org/MAguide.htm
    And you’ll want Ed Lam’s damselfly guide: http://homepage.mac.com/edlam/book.html

    Send me your email and I can email you a Vermont dragonfly and damselfly list.

    Best,
    Bryan

    Thanks for this, Bryan. Is there a list anywhere, on line or in print, of dragonflies/damselflies commonly found in VT?
