# Dragonflies and Damselflies by Rebecca. Broader Farley-Brown (Paperback)

Identification guide to dragonflies and damselflies Life-size colour illustrations by Richard Lewington Complete coverage of all species found in Britain and Ireland Designed to be used outside: lightweight, rucksack-sized, splash-proof Dragonflies and damselflies adults fly during the day, especially in the summer sunshine. Most species fly near freshwater, like rivers, ponds and lakes. With practice most species can be recognised in the field, even when in flight. Since blue damselflies are sometimes a little tricky, the guide includes close-up views of the nine similar species. All dragonflies and damselflies have long bodies, plus two pairs of densely veined wings. These insects often brightly coloured. Together dragonflies and damselflies belong to the order of insects called Odonata (meaning ‘toothed jaw’). Although still common and widespread today, they were among the first flying insects to appear on earth.
