Book excerpt: The number of Odonata or dragonfly species in New Zealand is limited - 17 against 40 in the British Isles. This means it is possible with a little practice to identify almost every species while they flying free, and to study them in depth without having to labour over identification. While this book is as scientifically accurate as possible, it is written for the general reader with a taste for natural history. Includes coloured photographs and line drawings, diagrams and distribution maps, a glossary and a key to identification.
