[Odonata-l] Larval rearing tips

[opihi@mindspring.com]

Howdy folks,

Yesterday I finally met UTPA professor Matt Terry face-to-face. Matt is scheduled to be one of the speakers at "Dragonfly Days" this coming May:

His specialty is the development of the wings and how that relates to evolution.

Matt asked me to post a question on his behalf. He is attempting to raise larvae, specifically Tramea onusta, and has had little success to date. He would like to hear recommendations from folks with experience on what it takes to rear them, dragonfly larvae in general if not Tramea specifically. Anyone with tips for Matt, please post to the list or else reply to me, and I will relay them to Matt.

Thanks y'all!

Josh
