| This thumbnailed gallery illustrates my current personal list of Odonata within California. Many of these small photos are shown at a significantly larger size elsewhere on this web site; links to those, and often additional photos, are given below. The location/date information in this grid relates to the photo shown, and sometimes refers to other photos from elsewhere in the State. The order listed follows the text of Manolis (2003) although he states that his taxonomic arrangement is by convenience, and does not represent a phylogenetic tree. However, I prefer this "sort-of" taxonomic tree over the practice followed by many entomologists, which is to list genera, and species within genera, alphabetically within families. Such "alphabetic" arrangement assures that some closely related groups will be listed far from each other. I prefer the half-hearted attempt to list closely related groups and species near to each other. |
