Editorial Review:

Product Description:
From fossils and folklore to life cycles and the latest in digital imaging techniques, A Dazzle of Dragonflies will take you into the far-reaching and sometimes secret world of one of our most beneficial insects. The guides are two of the most experienced and ardent fans of the "mosquitohawk," and your journey will include encounters with poets and prehistoric giants; peeks into hidden, watery universes; side trips to garden ponds and scientific laboratories; and much more. Pioneers in the electronic imaging of insects and creators of the award-winning website Digital Dragonflies, the authors share their spectacular scans of live dragonflies, enhanced with beautiful photographs that showcase them in their natural environment. Imparting a lifelong passion for these remarkable creatures, the authors also ask us to join them in some hands-on activities to increase our awareness of and interaction with dragonflies - from tips on creating a dragonfly garden to instructions for catching, photographing, and scanning them. Get ready to have your eyes opened by this true education about all things "dragonfly."



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Dazzling Indeed
This is an honest and forthright work, particularly for a newcomer to dragonflies. I wished there were more pictures but that only reflects my increased appetite for more.
Virgilius DiBiase



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Beautiful and innovative
I expected a gorgeous book full of professional pictures, I was rewarded with an entertaining overview that left me with greater perspective and general knowledge of our primitive friends. The photography is innovative, using office equipment to solve a technical problem in using standard cameras in the field, and , in the process, producing a unique set of beautiful, precise, jewel-like images. A very rewarding book.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing Dragonflies!
Bitter Lake Wildlife Refuge in Roswell, New Mexico has a Dragonfly Festival each fall. The authors of this book were there this year. This is one amazing book! The photography of the dragonflies is outstanding.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A dazzling dragonfly extravaganza
"A Dazzle of Dragonflies" is precisely what it claims to be: a dazzling, spectacular dragonfly extravaganza. Forrest Mitchell and James Laswell have written a book sure to captivate any budding entomologist, insect collector, or dragonfly-watcher. The book is filled with *really* good, large photos of dragonflies in different environments, situations and life-stages. The authors have also developed a new scanning technique, making many of their pictures extra fascinating (and almost scary).

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I'm Dazzled!
Fantastic pictures! But even better, they describe exactly how to get them yourself, if so motivated. The excellent pictures are used to show diagnostic characteristics, better than any others I've seen. But historical and life cycle information is provided, too. Whether you're a chairside nature enthusiast or prefer the field, you'll find value in this book. The author loves dragonflies and it's fun to share the excitement.
