- Natural History
Dragonflies are conspicuous insects which form an important part of our environment. The predatory adults are a familiar sight with their distinctive flight and often bright colouring. The equally predatory larvae ('mud-eyes') are less well known. These drab insects almost all live in freshwater and their presence is a reliable indicator of a healthy environment. This guide to the identification, distribution and habitats of Australian Odonata includes 55 colour and 20 black and white photographs, and will provide an invaluable reference for entomologists, students and naturalists. The biology and affinities of dragonflies are presented, along with detailed keys to the adults of Australian Odonata which reveal the diversity of dragonfly fauna.
