Checklist Australian Damselflies and Dragonflies
The checklist below is based on the CSIRO publication The Complete Field Guide to the Dragonflies of Australia, second edition (Theischinger and Hawking, 2021). It is the most up-to-date and comprehensive field guide on Australian odonates on the market and provides detailed descriptions of both adults and larvae for the 325 or so Australian species.
