Dragonflies
Dragonflies that you might hope to see in Lesbos
John
Bowers
*Known to occur
This list is designed for use with R. R. Askew, The
Dragonflies of Europe Second edition, Harley Books,
2004. The British Dragonfly Society has given English
names to those species on the British list but that does
not include all the species of
Lesbos
and attempts at creating English names in the spirit of
the BDS list can lead to confusion. We therefore use the
Latin names.
