A propos de cet article

Paperback. Discover the remarkable dragonflies around you and learn how to recognize, understand, and encourage these spectacular aerial hunters.Dragonflies are among the most impressive insects you can encounter outdoors. Their brilliant colors, enormous eyes, powerful flight, territorial pursuits, and close connection with freshwater make them fascinating subjects for anyone interested in nature.The Backyard Dragonfly Guide gives beginning naturalists a practical introduction to recognizing dragonflies, understanding their lives, observing their activities, and creating outdoor spaces that provide useful habitat.Learn to Identify Dragonflies With ConfidenceColor can be useful, but successful identification involves much more. Learn how size, body shape, wing markings, eye color, thorax patterns, abdominal markings, posture, flight style, location, and habitat can work together to help you narrow down what you are seeing.Inside You'll Discover: How to recognize important dragonfly body featuresHow wing patterns and markings can provide identification cluesHow males, females, and immature individuals may differHow to distinguish dragonflies from damselfliesHow eggs develop into aquatic nymphs and eventually flying adultsWhy dragonflies spend an important part of their lives underwaterHow nymphs hunt and survive in freshwater environmentsWhat happens during emergence and transformation into adulthoodHow adults hunt insects in flightHow territorial and mating activities can help with observationWhy ponds, wetlands, streams, and other freshwater environments attract different speciesHow vegetation and water quality influence suitable habitatHow to create a more dragonfly-friendly pond or water featureHow to photograph fast-moving individuals more effectivelyHow to record sightings and improve your identification skills over timeDiscover Their Hidden Underwater LivesThe familiar flying adult represents only one stage of a dragonfly's life. Before taking to the air, these insects develop underwater as predatory nymphs. Understanding this aquatic stage helps explain why suitable freshwater habitat is so important to their survival.Create Better Habitat at HomeIf you have suitable space, a thoughtfully designed pond can provide opportunities for dragonflies and other aquatic organisms. Water depth, emergent vegetation, submerged plants, sunny areas, perching locations, water quality, and predator pressure can all influence which species use a site.Become a More Skilled ObserverInstead of chasing every individual, learn to watch perches, patrol routes, hunting areas, territories, and waterside vegetation. Patient observation can reveal courtship, mating, egg laying, hunting, territorial disputes, and other fascinating activities.Perfect for beginning naturalists, gardeners, photographers, families, pond owners, and insect enthusiasts, this practical handbook combines identification, natural history, observation, and habitat creation in one accessible resource. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
