Book Synopsis



A fully revised and updated edition of the bestselling photographic guide

Dragonflies of Britain and Ireland is the only comprehensive photographic field guide to the damselflies and dragonflies of the region. Written by two of Britain's foremost Dragonfly experts, this fully revised and updated fifth edition features hundreds of stunning images and identification charts covering all 58 resident, migrant and former breeding species, and seven potential vagrants. The book focuses on the identification of both adults and larvae, highlighting the key features. Detailed species profiles provide concise information on identification, status and trend, distribution, flight period, behaviour, breeding habitat, and population and conservation. Other sections cover biology and ecology; watching, photographing, recording and monitoring Dragonflies; conservation status and legislation; and introduced exotic species.

This redesigned, updated and expanded edition features:

  • Beautiful colour plates showing males, females, immatures and all colour forms for every species, annotated to highlight key identification features
  • More than 600 stunning photographs (100 more than in the previous edition), 353 of which are new, and 550 illustrations
  • Up-to-date species profiles, distribution maps and status information
  • Detailed, easy-to-use identification charts for adults and larvae
  • An annotated checklist of the 58 species recorded to date
