There are over 300 species of dragonflies in North America. Many are brightly colored and large, making them conspicuous and eye-catching. They are beautiful insects, intricate in form and pattern, but also highly evolved predators with fascinating behaviors and life stories.
A former Queens resident, Ed Lam is the author and illustrator of Dragonflies of North America, the latest and most comprehensive identification guide to these charismatic insects. He will introduce the audience to the variety of North America’s dragonflies and how to identify them. His previous book was Damselflies of the Northeast, a guide to species of eastern Canada and the northeastern United States.
