I wanted to wait for a few days, before I sent a message to the group, so that we would have some people on the list. Again Welcome and thank you for joining....
Thursday, October 2 Hi Ode People (Odists? Oders?), I'm still just getting into dragonflies and have only barely attempted damselflies. I try the dragonflies...
Thanks to Doug for setting up this group. I live about 1500 miles from the southwest but have been birding Arizona, etc. since the late 70's. About five...
We live near the bottom of Carr Canyon in the Huachucas. This morning I photoed two male damsels perching on the edge of artificial pond. I was hoping I...
From the odonata-l group in response to a question about the barbs along the wing veins of dragonflies: This wasn't in my cerebral hard drive but was at hand...
Hello all, I'm Kathy Biggs and, like Ann, I'm not actually in the physical space that Doug used when defining this group. I'm 'here' because over the past...
I have added shots of thorax and abdomen and some notes to my page: http://home.earthlink.net/~hbrodkin/ODES.html Maybe that will help with ID. Ode #3 by all...
Thanks everyone for your help. First of all the cu abdomen and thorax shots were from bugs caught a couple of hours afterwards and especially those from Ode #1...

Monday, October 20 Dear Odonaters, Oops, first time I've done that. Sorry. The link I just sent is to some photos I've been unable to put a solid ID on. I was...
Hi Rich and all, Those certainly look like Great Spreadwings to me! Your pond damsel is some sort of Dancer (wings held above the abdomen). And since it...
Hello all and pardon my cross posting, Because there aren't many images of this species, the Brimstone Clubtail, on the Internet yet (that I know of), I wanted...
I just added a photo of a female to the photo section of the web site. It was taken in July at the Patagonia Rest Stop south of Patagonia, Arizona. Douglas...

Dear Odonatics, The Santa Cruz "River" in Tucson, just west of Columbus Park, seems to be a good local place to watch odonates right now. Much of the activity...
Does anyone have any information concerning the Odes of Baja California. I would assume that most of Upper Baja is much like Southern California in species,...
I have moved Arizona Odes to its own domain so if any of you have bookmarked it, please change to http://www.azodes.com. Thanks to a number of you, but...
