Complete Field Guide to Dragonflies of Australia
Second Edition
"These [Albert Orr] plates alone will help to increase appreciation of our remarkable and largely endemic Odonata, and endorse awareness of their diversity and their values as flagship taxa and tools in evaluating the quality of Australia’s inland water ecosystems."

Dragonflies and damselflies are conspicuous insects: many are large and brightly coloured. They are also valuable indicators of environmental wellbeing. A detailed knowledge of the dragonfly fauna is therefore an important basis for decisions about environmental protection and management.
This comprehensive guide to the Australian dragonfly fauna covers eight families of dragonflies and 10 families of damselflies, comprising the 113 genera and 333 species found in Australia. It has been updated with newly identified species and revised family names to reflect new world consensus systematics. Stunning full-colour images and distribution maps are accompanied by identification keys for adults as well as larvae, which are often used as bait for freshwater fish.
This second edition of The Complete Field Guide to Dragonflies of Australia also includes illustrations by Albert Orr, one of the most renowned dragonfly illustrators. The extraordinary diversity of dragonflies will interest entomologists and amateur naturalists alike.
Features
Fully revised text, with updates to family names to match new world consensus systematics.
Includes newly established taxa.
Some photos and distribution maps updated.
At least five new species, and several reclassified species/genera.

"These [Albert Orr] plates alone will help to increase appreciation of our remarkable and largely endemic Odonata, and endorse awareness of their diversity and their values as flagship taxa and tools in evaluating the quality of Australia’s inland water ecosystems."
Tim R New, Journal of Insect Conservation Vol 25
"We are very lucky in Australia to have such a book covering all of our species, with a wealth of information to enable identification of the majority of dragonflies and damselflies seen or photographed. The photograph and map updates, and line drawings, represent a huge amount of work."
Irene Denton, Society for Insect Studies Inc. Circular No. 212
