Lake Lessons: Dragons & Damsels – Odonata of The Ridges with JD Arnston

For the last two years, field surveys have been conducted to create a comprehensive species list of every species of dragonfly and damselfly that can be found at The Ridges. In this discussion by Odonate (insect) Researcher JD Arnston, you’ll learn about the natural history of dragonflies and damselflies as well as what makes The Ridges a special place for several rare species. Find out what you can do to promote conservation for these wonderful insects and what you can do in your own backyard to help them flourish. There will be an outdoor portion of this Lake Lesson to net and identify dragonflies – weather dependent.
