It's really great to see a fine book like this one on a corner of nature that is often overlooked. It really cleared up some mysteries for me. Very well done.
Outstanding Work ! January 3, 2007

As a 4-H entomology leader in Michigan, this book is indispensable. Dubois follows Mead's dragonfly work with a much-need volume in the same exacting, yet accessible style. The pictures are references are terrific. More importantly, like Mead, Dubois takes great pains to write a layperson's explanation of the suborder. Thanks !
an excellent compact field guide November 12, 2006

This is an excellent, well-illustrated compact field guide for its specified region. While the range maps cover only the region surrounding MI, WI, MN, the nothern part of Iowa, and the area of western Ontario lying immediately north of Lakes Superior and Huron, many of the species in the guide may be found over a much wider range -- making the guide of some use to others living beyond this region. The photographs are excellent. Notes pertaining to each species' appearance and life cycle are concise. Diagrams of abdomens are clear. Phenogram charts appear with each species. The introductory chapters on anatomy, natural history, behaviour, and observation of damselflies are quite brief but contain much useful information. Certainly a useful guide for anyone interested in damselflies of the general Great Lakes region.
Superb for identifying damselflies in north US August 11, 2006

This is a great little guide for this region. It has very clear photos of both males and females of the species that occur here (adults, no larvae). Additional photos show variants or distinguishing features. There is a key to the three families at the beginning, but not within the families. There are black and white drawings of the tips of the abdomens, a great feature but it should have been in colour!
Range maps do not extend beyond MI, WI, MN & w. Ontario. Charts show abundance through the season. A table lists suitable binoculars. A checklist is provided, along with notes on behaviour and morphology.
