Start of Dragonfly and Damselfly Season on Long Island
Some Dragonflies like the Common Green Darner have migrated back into our area. Other Dragonflies and Damselflies have begun to emerge from our ponds, streams and rivers. The Common Green Darner (Anax junius) is one of our earliest migrants and the Eastern Forktail (Ischnura verticalis) is one of our early emergers.  |
| This Eastern Forktail male was found on DEC property in Manorville |
There are other species seen in this area which has a sandy-bottomed fishless pond. Other species that have been seen here are the Tiger Salamanders, Spoonleaf Sundews, Tiger Beetles, Cicada Killers, Red Velvet Ants, Sweetflag Spreadwings and other dragonflies and damselflies. More species will be added as they are identified.

| Also on the same DEC property was this Juvenal's Duskywing and the Lanceleaf Violet below. |
