[Odonata-l] Dragonflies on TV

[McCormac, Jim]

Hi all,

 

I thought that the readers of this list might enjoy viewing a brief story done by the Ohio Division of Wildlife's Wild Ohio TV show. It covers the first (but hopefully not the last!) Ohio Dragonfly Symposium that was held in Wooster Ohio in July 2007. There are interviews and footage with our keynote speaker, Dennis Paulson, as well as Ohio experts Bob Glotzhober and Larry Rosche.

 

We attracted 140 -150 participants, and it was a truly great time. We had no idea that so many folks would be interested enough to attend, and we had lots of great feedback. We'll do it again, hopefully next year and I bet it'll be bigger that the first.

Hi Michel,

Part of the lack of response may be that male Aeshnas are easy to identify if you can see the right parts (side stripes, face, terminal apps), but none of these are clear in any of the photographs. I agree with Jim that it is not interrupta or constricta. Based on the smidgen of side stripe partially visible in one of the photos it might be canadensis.

 

Have a great spring!

Bob

	Michel,

	 

	From what I can see of the thoracic markings in the second image it is not A. interrupta, and the appendages are wrong for A. constrcta. That leaves A. canadensis, although you may have to consider A. verticalis as well (not sure if the species is in that area or not).

	Hello all,
	 
	Hum... It looks harder than I thought for I received no answer (0) from anybody concerning that ID...!  
	 
	I'm hesitating between 3 Darners:
	 
	- Aeshna canadensis;
	- Aeshna interrupta;
	- Aeshna constricta;
	 
	As I said, that specimen was photographied in New Hampshire September 12th, 2008. 
	 
	Maybe the date can help??? Which one can I remove from the above list?
	 
	Any suggestion about its ID will be very appreciated :-)   
	 
	 
	Thank you very much !

	Hello all,
	
	Here are 3 pictures of a Dragonfly photographied at the "Old Main in the Mountain" (White Mountain, New Hampshire), September 12th, 2008.
	
	Could it be a Variable Darner (Aeshna interrupta)??
