Dragonfly Galleries

This website contains over 230 pages which can be accessed from the roll out menu in the top left hand corner of each page. Hover your cursor over a subject and a drop down menu will appear, then just select the page you wish to view from that menu. Use the white scroll arrows at the top and base of the roll out menu for further options.

The site contains many varied menus and the following items are a guide to what can be viewed. I hope you enjoy exploring my website and that you'll visit again soon.

Dragonfly and Damselfly Galleries - From the roll out menu you can access a page for each of the Odonata species found in my part of southern England. Each page contains a brief introduction and a photographic overview of the species. Digital images can be accessed from the pop up gallery by clicking on the thumbnails. Some pages will have links to further images.

Dragonfly and Damselfly Narratives - There is a page for each local Odonata species with a more detailed description including their habitats, flight periods, breeding behaviour and general characteristics. These narratives have been kindly written and supplied by Mr Ken Crick.

Slide Shows - There is a slide show available for each Odonata species. Each slide show will play automatically (see below for an example) with a new image appearing every few seconds. This is an alternative and a more relaxed way of viewing the species images.
