Dragonfly ID

Yes, dragonflies are really spectacular looking.

Do you know of a good book or web site for identifying dragonflies (besides Bug Guid of course). I'd like to learn more about them.

Resources for dragonflies

Odonata Central has lots of photos, etc. at: https://www.odonatacentral.org/

For books, Paulsen's Dragonflies and Damselflies of the East is very good. For Eastern Ontario, where I live, The Dragonflies and Damselflies of Algonquin Park and the Surrounding area by Jones, et al. is excellent. It should cover most of your species, too.

Thanks, I'll look those books up, and the web site, too.
