Field Guide to the Dragonflies of Britain and Europe 2nd Edition
A revised and thoroughly updated edition of THE definitive guide to identifying dragonflies in Europe.
The first edition of the Field Guide to the Dragonflies of Britain and Europe was a ground-breaking identification guide that led to an increase in Odonata recording across Europe. The second edition includes fully revised regional guides and identification texts, updated distribution maps and conservation statuses, illustrated accounts for five species that have been discovered in the region since the first edition, updated checklists and taxonomy, new photographs throughout, as well as an introduction to larvae identification. Each species is lavishly illustrated with artworks of males, females and variations, as well as close-ups of important characters.Publisher Name | Bloomsbury Wildlife |

Klaas-Douwe 'KD' B Dijkstra developed an interest in natural history as a child living in Egypt. The discovery of the first Anax ephippiger in The Netherlands in 1995 incited an active involvement in Dutch dragonfly work. In that year, KD also developed a passion for Africa. He published The Dragonflies and Damselflies of Eastern Africa: Handbook for all Odonata from Sudan to Zimbabwe in 2014 and African Dragonflies and Damselflies Online in 2016; a book on Madagascar is forthcoming. KD has held positions in Suriname, South Africa and the UK, and is currently working on freshwater biodiversity conservation and awareness at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center in The Netherlands.
