They are distinguished from other North American damselfl ies by broad wings with dense venation and no hint of the narrow petiole or “stalk” at the base that characterizes the other families. The nodus lies well out on the wing with numerous crossveins basal to it. Colored wings in this family are heavily involved in displays between males and of males to females. This is the only damselfl y family in which individuals point abdomen toward the sun (obelisk- ing) at high temperatures. Closed wings are held either on one side of the abdomen or above it, which may relate to temperature regulation. Leg spines are very long, appropriate to fl y- catching habits. Worldwide it is tropical, with a few species in temperate North America and Eurasia. World 176, NA 8, West 6.

    Spotted salamander Southern flying squirrel Alewife Eastern screech owl Chapter 2 Species of Greatest Conservation Need 2.1 District of Columbia’s Wildlife Diversity Despite being a highly urbanized city, the District of Columbia has high wildlife diversity, which is due, in part, to the wide variety of habitats found throughout the city and a large amount of undeveloped federal land. This chapter addresses Element 1 by describing the diversity of the District’s animal wildlife and the process used to select and rank SGCN for SWAP 2015. Two hundred five animal species have been listed as SGCN in SWAP 2015 (see Table 1). Thirty-two species were removed and 90 species were added as SGCN as a result of the selection process described in this chapter, which is based on 10 years of wildlife inventory and monitoring projects.

  • Archilestes Californicus Mclachlan (Odonata: Zygoptera: Lestidae):A Damselfly New to Canada
    J. ENTOMOL. SOC. BRIT. COLUMBIA 114, DECEMBER 2017 !77 NATURAL HISTORY AND OBSERVATIONS Archilestes californicus McLachlan (Odonata: Zygoptera: Lestidae):a damselfly new to Canada ROBERT A. CANNINGS1 & RUSSELL V. PYM2 Archilestes californicus McLachlan (California Spreadwing) is a large damselfly native to western North America, ranging from Washington and Idaho south to New Mexico, Arizona and California and, in Mexico, to Sonora and Baja California Sur (Paulson 2011; Westfall and May 2006). This note records the species for the first time in Canada—from three sites in the southern Okanagan Valley, British Columbia (BC; Figure 1). Russell Pym saw several males and females at a small, shallow, artificial pond at the end of an artificial stream near the entrance to the Liquidity Winery at 4720 Allendale Road, Okanagan Falls, BC (49.32553°N, 119.54993°W). He observed them from 13:00 to 14:00 PDT on 26 September 2016; one male was photographed (Figure 2). From 16:30 to 17:00 PDT the same day, he recorded a female in knee-high grass, three to four metres from the shore of a dugout pond across the road from Walnut Beach Resort, 4200 Lakeshore Drive, Osoyoos, BC (49.01825°N, 119.43580°W). Cattail (Typha latifolia) and willows (Salix spp.) lined the pond margins. At the north end of Vaseux Lake the next day, 27 September 2016, Russell photographed a lone male (Figure 3) perched on cattails in a mixed willow swamp and cattail marsh (13:00 to 14:30 PDT). The site was along the boardwalk to the bird blind at 49.30348°N, 119.53696°W.

  • The Dragonflies and Damselflies (Odonata) of Canadian Grasslands
    231 Chapter 8 The Dragonfl ies and Damselfl ies (Odonata) of Canadian Grasslands Robert A. Cannings Royal British Columbia Museum, 675 Belleville Street Victoria, British Columbia, V8W 9W2 [email protected] Abstract. The Odonata are energetic aerial predators of other insects; the aquatic larvae are voracious predators of invertebrates and small vertebrates. As of 2010, 5,952 species of the order were described worldwide; 211 species are known from Canada. Grasslands across the country support about 59% of the national fauna. A checklist and systematic overview of 124 species in nine families are presented. Species totals in these families are as follows: Calopterygidae, 2; Lestidae, 7; Coenagrionidae, 31; Aeshnidae, 16; Gomphidae, 15; Cordulegastridae, 1; Macromiidae, 2; Corduliidae, 13; and Libellulidae, 37. The geographical ranges of the species are defi ned and summarized; according to the defi nitions herein, 20 species have boreal ranges, 17 are transition species, 12 are Cordilleran, 1 is Pacifi c coastal, 10 are western, 4 are more or less restricted to the Great Plains, 16 have southern ranges, 38 are considered eastern, and 6 are widespread species. A summary of studies on grassland Odonata and recommendations for inventory and taxonomic research are provided. The geographical scope of the Canadian grassland fauna is described briefl y with respect to lotic and lentic habitats in grasslands of the Cordillera, the Great Plains, and southern Ontario. Résumé. Les odonates sont de féroces prédateurs aériens d’autres insectes ; leurs larves aquatiques sont aussi des prédateurs voraces d’autres invertébrés et petits vertébrés. En 2010, 5 952espèces d’odonates avaient été décrites dans le monde.
