Dragonflies and Damselflies of the World is a beautifully illustrated celebration of these vibrant aerial acrobats and their astonishing diversity. Found near rivers, ponds, and wetlands, their lives reflect the condition of our planets most precious resource: freshwater. While adults are expert hunters, their nymphs live entirely underwater, making them key indicators of environmental health. This guide not only captures their dazzling beauty but also explores how these ancient insects evolved and became vital symbols of ecological balance and change in todays ever-shifting climate and natural world.
