  • First Record of Ceriagrion Fallax Ris (Odonata: Coenagrionidae) Preying on Small Web-Building Spiders (Arachnida: Tetragnathidae)
    International Journal of Odonatology, 2015 Vol. 18, No. 2, 153–156, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13887890.2015.1025244 First record of Ceriagrion fallax Ris (Odonata: Coenagrionidae) preying on small web-building spiders (Arachnida: Tetragnathidae) Xin Yu∗ Institute of Entomology, College of Life Sciences, Nankai University, Tianjin, PR China (Received 5 January 2015; accepted 28 February 2015) In montane forest of south-western Yunnan, China, a female of Ceriagrion fallax was observed and pho- tographed preying on a small web-building spider of the genus Leucauge. This is the first record of plucking an orb-weaver spider by a representative of the genus Ceriagrion. A brief discussion on the evolution of spider feeding behaviour in odonates is provided. Keywords: Odonata; Zygoptera; Coenagrionidae; Ceriagrion fallax; predation; Leucauge Introduction Many species of Odonata have been reported preying on small web-building spiders, as was related by Novelo-Gutiérrez and Ramírez (2013). After reading the interesting record of Novelo- Gutiérrez and Ramírez (2013), I recalled observing a similar event during my own fieldwork in which a little damselfly, Ceriagrion fallax Ris (Coenagrionidae), also caught a web-building spider as prey. Fortunately, I recorded the episode in detail in my fieldwork diary which I describe here. According to Dijkstra, Kalkman, Dow, Stokvis, and van Tol (2014), Ceriagrion is closely related to Telebasis (the temporary spider feeding specialist, according to Novelo-Gutiérrez & Ramírez, 2013) and pseudostigmatids (the obligatory spider feeding group). However there has so far been no report of Ceriagrion species preying on spiders. I suppose this observation should be a temporary specialization (Corbet, 1999).

  • Damselflies & Dragonflies of the Tees and Humber Industrial Sites
    Damselflies & Dragonflies of the Tees and Humber Industrial Sites Introduction Damselflies and dragonflies belong to the same ‘order’ of insects called the Odonata. Although the adults are flying insects, the other stages of their life cycle are spent in water. Adults lay their eggs on aquatic plants or in the mud of still or slow moving freshwater. The larval or ‘nymph’ form is the immature stage which is wingless. Nymphs eat other aquatic insects and small animals such as tadpoles and small fish. They shed their skin as they grow and larger species can take several years to reach the point Damsel or Dragon? where they become full-grown. At this point The following key points will give an they climb out of the water onto surrounding indication of the main differences vegetation and after a short period the adult between dragonflies and damselflies: insect emerges from the old larval skin.

HABITAT It can be found in all kinds of habitats, whether they are bodies of water or not, as this is a migratory species. It is unknown if there is a breeding spot this species has in the Province of Málaga, but they are likely to mate in standing water bodies with plenty of vegetation on the riverbank (above all rushes and bulrushes). These can be perennial or temporary, such as small reservoirs and dams, artificial ponds, deserted quarries and polls in rivers and streams. WAY OF LIFE This species migrates from Africa and the Mediterranean to a large part of Europe, where it reaches Iceland (only this Odonata from that country has been seen here).

    nature needs more explorers What sixty new dragonfly and damselfly species from Africa can say about the state of our most critical resource and the exploration of life. Klaas-Douwe B. Dijkstra, Jens Kipping & Nicolas Mézière (1 December 2015) Sixty new dragonfly and damselfly species from Africa (Odonata). Odonatologica 44: 447-678 By naming 60 new dragonflies at once, we want to show that a biologist’s greatest importance today is to provide the names and knowledge needed to add all life to the human conscience. We do so by challenging three common misconceptions about biodiversity: 1. that most of Earth’s species are known to us 2. that the remaining unknown species are hidden and detectable only by genetics 3. that enough effort is being made in the field to uncover the unknown in time We demonstrate this with some of the most sensitive and beautiful of all biodiversity: 1. freshwater — Earth’s most dense and threatened species richness 2. Africa — the continent that will change most in the 21st century 3. dragonflies — the insects that could The new Sarep Sprite Pseudagrion sarepi was named be the best gauge of global change after the SAREP expedition to eastern Angola. Mankind knows just 20% of the 9 million species of animal, plant, fungus and protist thought to inhabit our planet. With 6000 species named, dragonflies and damselflies were regarded as well-known. The 60 new dragonflies described now are the most to be named at once in a century, adding 1 species to every 12 known in Africa. Their beauty and sensitivity can raise awareness for freshwater biodiversity, the densest and most threatened on earth.
