This review is from: Damselflies of the Northeast: A Guide to the Species of Eastern Canada & the Northeastern United States (Paperback)

Meticulously illustrated in great detail. The binding needs to be changed however. I've purchased 2 and both have lost pages. A spiral bound, flat lying guide would be a big improvement.

This review is from: Damselflies of the Northeast: A Guide to the Species of Eastern Canada & the Northeastern United States (Paperback)

This is the field guide to damselflies of the Northeast that I've dreamed of. Ed Lam's artwork is stunning, as he illustrates each species in full detail. The book is concise and very well organized. He lets the reader know whether each species and sex can be identified in the field or whether it needs to be caught and inspected more closely. He gives critical field marks for accurate identification. Even if the reader never goes into the field to ID these beautiful creatures, the artwork alone is worth the price of admission. All species native to the northeast are covered including detailed range maps to the county level and both common and scientific names. I purchased this book directly from the publisher for $20 + S&H.

This review is from: Damselflies of the Northeast: A Guide to the Species of Eastern Canada & the Northeastern United States (Paperback)

This is the best damselfly field guide available for anyone interested in the odonates. This guide has been very helpful to me in my identification of species for the New York State Dragonfly and Damselfly survey for which I am a volunteer surveyor. This book has also come in handy for my job as a Wildlife Biologist during site surveys.
