Release Date: March 31st, 2015
I received this book from Yale University Press through Netgalley.
I requested this book because I have always loved Dragonflies. Despite loving them I didn't really know much about them but after reading this book I know a great deal. As the author states in the book this is not a field guide and does not go into too much depth about the different species of Dragon and Damselflies but looks over their shared characteristics.
This is a delightful book with some truly stunning photography. I now know the difference between a Dragonfly and a Damselfly (I hadn't even previously known they where two different species) and have a good grasp as to the particulars of their life cycles.
While this book is a great introduction to Dragonflies and Damselflies I found myself wishing there was more information on the different species and even more of their history besides the brief blurb mentioned.
I recommend it or anyone who enjoys nature, bugs and photography.
