Among the largest of all insects, dragonflies and damselflies are
conspicuous. Active during the day, often brightly colored, and
extremely photogenic-something about their appearance and dashing
flight suggests a primeval world of tree ferns and dinosaurs. The
first guide of its kind, this book includes an in-depth
introduction with an overview of Costa Rican biodiversity and
illustrated morphological terms. The species accounts show males
and females of most species, detailed illustrations and close-ups
of key distinguishing features, and descriptions of habitat,
behavior, and range. Dragonflies and Damselflies of Costa Rica
gives readers the information they need to identify nearly every
species in the country. Experienced dragonfly fans and new
enthusiasts alike will find it an indispensable resource.
