Airily dancing over rivers and ponds, the thousands of colourful dragonfly and damselfly species that cohabit on our planet may seem of little importance. Few life forms, however, convey the condition of the most limiting resource on land and life’s most bountiful environment as well as they can: while the adults are exceptional aerial hunters, their nymphs are all confined to freshwater. Dragonflies and Damselflies of the World showcases their beauty and diversity while shedding light on how they evolved into the vital symbols of planetary health we celebrate today.

– Characterizes all families and major subgroups
