A very fine photographic guide to all the Dragonflies and Damselflies
of Britain and Western Europe.
This visually impressive encyclopedia is a must-have for Britain's army
of dragonfly-watchers. Written at an advanced level, this book contains
keys, first-class photography, and highlights to key identification
criteria in the adults.
Very unusually, nymphs are also afforded this treatment, making this a
truly unique resource for anyone interested in freshwater ecology. There
are also detailed diagrams of wing venation - crucial for some
identifications, rarely covered in other guides (and never with this
sort of clarity) - and plates showing confusion abdomens, a superb
resource.
