Dragonflies and Damselflies of Rhode Island

ID : 1080   
« back to classes page
ClassGraphic We will discuss identification, life cycle, natural history, behavior, habitat, and conservation of dragonflies and damselflies, which belong to the insect order Odonata. These fascinating, colorful, charismatic insects are good indicators of ecosystem health. They are predators in all advanced stages of their lives, consuming countless other insects and forming an important part of the diet of many other organisms, from fish to birds, small mammals, and even carnivorous plants. We’ll learn how to identify dragonflies and damselflies; how they fly, catch their prey, reproduce, and interact with each other, plants, and animals; where they live and how their presence in aquatic environments can indicate ecosystem health; and how to protect their habitats and assess short- and long-term threats to these insects.
