Dragonflies of the World: Interactive Identification to Subfamilies will allow you to identify any adult specimen of dragonfly or damselfly (order Odonata) to family and subfamily. The CD-ROM provides notes about each of the families and subfamilies, and is richly illustrated with colour photographs of many example species. The wings of dragonflies and damselflies tell the tale of their evolution. The shapes and patterns of the wing veins reflect the groups to which these fascinating creatures belong. The authors, both experienced odonatologists, have used these features to construct this effective set of identification keys, enabling worldwide identification of the Odonata, for the first time. Dragonflies of the World: Interactive Identification to Subfamilies is designed for use by interested amateurs as well as professionals, and is the ideal companion to the book Dragonflies of the World.
