Report a Sighting

There are several ways to report a Dragonfly sighting:

Option 1

Report a casual sighting or visit to a site, for the benefit of others who might wish to know what’s flying at the moment. These sightings are not vetted and are not automatically treated as scientific records.

Submit a Sighting

Option 2

Report a scientific record for addition to our long-term database of dragonfly occurrence, phenology. These records are subject to verification by a local expert.
