Anyone with an interest is welcome to join. Posts of interest to Texans, with a focus on surrounding states are also welcome."</div> <bR> <div> SoWest Odes - From their intro “A group dedicated to the discussion of Dragonflies & Damselflies of the Southwestern United States, including Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, and New Mexico. Topics that are allowable would be the status and distribution of the Odes in the Region, and field trip or other sighting(s) reports.”</div> <bR> <div> CalOdes - From their intro “This Yahoo group has been started for those who are interested in the Odes of California. It is being set up to work in conjunction with Kathy Biggs' web site "Common Dragonflies of California". It will be a forum for the reporting of sightings of the Odes in California, and any discussion that will help in furthering the knowledge of the Status and Distribution of California's Dragonflies and Damselflies.”</div> <bR> <div> se-odonates - From their intro “A group for lovers of Dragonflies and Damselflies (and relatives) in the Southeastern US.”</div> <bR> <div> Darners - From their intro “Dragonflies are elegant creatures, colorful, primitive-looking and beautiful. As common as they can be, their migratory movements are not well understood. Perhaps by reporting such movements here, we may contribute to our knowledge.”</div> <bR> <div> DragonflyClub - From their intro “Dragonflies and Damselflies are so very unique. From the water to the air, these fast-flying creatures are some of my personal favorites. This club is all about these awesome creatures!” </div> <bR> <div> gl_odonata - From their intro “This group is for sharing observations and disseminating information for people interested in dragonflies/damselflies of the Great Lakes region. Open to all, sponsored by the Michigan Odonata Survey.” </div> <bR> <div> If you want to join, here's the address for accessing Yahoo Groups:</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="http://groups.yahoo.com/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://groups.yahoo.com/"><U><B>http://groups.yahoo.com/</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> And the direct address for accessing TexOdes is:</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF=" http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TexOdes" TARGET="_top" TITLE=" http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TexOdes"><U><B>http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TexOdes</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> The big-daddy of Odonate lists, run by Dennis Paulson, and sponsored by the University of Puget Sound, is Odonata-L. While it is a more technical list, it is loaded with archived information about behavior and biology of odes. It is not regional in nature, though it has handled regional information for those areas not covered by a regional list.

Here are the ones I know of that are either devoted to, or containing something of interest about, Texas Odonata.</div> <bR> <div> First of all, Dr. John Abbott's Odonata Central is the current state-of-the-art site on distribution of Texas Odes. His is also the only place I know that has textual identification information for all of the Texas Zygoptera (damselflies). He is producing a book on Texas Odonates planned for publication in the fall of 2004. His superb site can be reached at:</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="http://www.esb.utexas.edu/jcabbott/Odonata/index.html" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.esb.utexas.edu/jcabbott/Odona"><U><B>http://www.esb.utexas.edu/jcabbott/Odonata/index.html</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> His checklist of the Odonates of Texas with direct links to the species accounts can be found here:</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF=" http://www.esb.utexas.edu/jcabbott/Odonata/texas/index.asp" TARGET="_top" TITLE=" http://www.esb.utexas.edu/jcabbott/Odon"><U><B>http://www.esb.utexas.edu/jcabbott/Odonata/texas/index.asp</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> My friend Greg Lasley, besides being a world-class bird- and bear-tour leader, an outstanding photographer of birds, and a retired Austin cop, also has some phenomenal pictures of Odes on his site, with promise of many more to come. His damsels especially are highly valuable for comparison for identification's sake, and all of his pages include both pertinent notes on biology and distribution, and notes on the camera setup used for the photos. His site can be reached at:</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF=" http://www.greglasley.net/dragonix.html" TARGET="_top" TITLE=" http://www.greglasley.net/dragonix.html"><U><B>http://www.greglasley.net/dragonix.html</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> Martin Reid has posted a number of photos on his site. If you don't know him, let me just say that Martin has a gift for finding the odd thing, and a penchant for intense detail. After you're done checking out his odes, you oughta check out the rest of his site - my favorite is his Pelagic Birds in Fort Worth page. Find his odes directly at:</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="http://www.martinreid.com/odindex.html" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.martinreid.com/odindex.html"><U><B>http://www.martinreid.com/odindex.html</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> Claire & Mary Curry have located a number of great odes, and some great butterflies too, in their section of North Texas Tallgrass prairie.

Again, as do most of these sites, it features excellent photography.

One of the single best sites around for IDing difficult specimens because of the wealth of images of both sexes and different stages. Not all species are covered so well, but most are.
