Guillaume Doucet has been studying dragonflies for fifteen years, and his studies have taken him across the world. He specialises in larval ecology and regularly organises training for naturalists wishing to learn more about this area. Daniel Grand has devoted his life to the study of dragonflies. He is the author or co-author of numerous publications.
Reviews
This is the ultimate resource for any field naturalist interested in these intriguing insects. * Countryside *
This guide is sure to make a major contribution to amateur naturalists' accurate recording of dragonflies and damselflies. * Birdwatch Magazine *
This new book by three renowned French entomologists ... is a true tour-de-force. A tremendous amount of thought has gone into its overall design and lay-out. Crammed with superb crisp colour photographic portraits of all relevant Odonata species, each annotated (but not too much) to draw attention to specific identification features, it is a really joy to use. A bench mark publication. -- John Badmin * Journal of Entomology and Natural History *
This new photographic guide seeks to provide identification information for all 98 species to be found in Western Europe [and is] a fully comprehensive field guide for the area. [It is] attractively produced, with high quality pictures and a few full-page photographs between sections, which are superb. -- Pam Taylor * Entomologist's Monthly Magazine *
