2011 Beginners Workshop on Dragonflies and Damselflies

Gratiot Lake Conservancy sponsored a Beginners Workshop on Dragonflies and Damselflies led by amateur odonotist Bob Marr at Gratiot Lake on Saturday, August 13. Participants learned identification, safe capture and release, and techniques for observation of these “winged dragons” and “neon toothpicks.”

Once again the workshop was a huge success! Participants had a great time learning a bit about the Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) of the Gratiot Lake area. Together they captured, identified, and released 7 different species in just a few hours' time.
