We had a great turnout for our dragonfly identification class at Orlando Wetlands. Our instructors, Mary Keim and Randy Snyder from Orange Audubon Society, held a short class to help us learn how to tell different species apart. Then we hit the trails to see what we could find! We ended up with 7 species, and another 3 species found by individuals just before and after our picnic lunch.
Seen by the group:
- Eastern pondhawk
- Blue-ringed dancer
- Regal darner
- Cyrano darner
- Hyacinth glider
- Blue dasher
- Carolina saddlebags
Seen individually before and after lunch:
- Four-spotted pennant
- Golden-winged skimmer
- Comet darner
