Want to help dragonfly populations? The Migratory Dragonfly Project is a citizen science project you can participate in. All you need is a pond or wetland to visit and a computer.
Participants monitor the timing, duration, and direction of travel of migrating dragonflies, and note any additional behaviors in a directed migratory flight such as feeding or mating. Photos or videos are strongly encouraged to aid in identification. When gathered across a wide geographic range and throughout a span of years, these data will provide answers to questions about which species are regular migrants; the frequency and timing of migration in different species; sources, routes, and destinations of migrants; and patterns of reproduction, emergence, and movement among migratory dragonflies along their flight paths.

Hi, Thank you for this information about The Migratory Dragonfly Project. As you can see from the above link to my blog post, I am interested in dragonflies.
I read and enjoy your blog everyday. Thank you for doing it.

I cannot recall ever seeing a dragonfly. Either that or I just stay away from ponds and wetlands.
