This beautifully illustrated field guide covers 126 dragonflies and damselflies found in Northeast Ohio (Lorain, Medina, Cuyahoga, Summit, Lake, Geauga, Portage, Ashtabula, and Trumbull Counties). Since there are 162 species found in all of Ohio, this guide serves as a useful tool for the entire state as well as much of the Great Lakes region.

Small, paper-back and spiral-bound. Includes brief explanation of odonate natural history, fully-illustrated species accounts, occurrance graphs (flight periods), and several reference pages (including detailed images of male bluet appendages).
