The
102 species below are
currently documented for Arkansas. Note that our Least Clubtail has become a
separate species from the major population and now has the name
Interior Least Clubtail. The new Spiketail is now the
Ouachita Spiketail. Thanks to
John Abbott for the new scientific name. Charles Mills has added several species
this past year from SW AR including some clubtails and the Great Pondhawk
record.
Click on the name for
the present county map diagram for Arkansas. The associated records are from
George Harp (black, almost all specimen documented),
Herschel Raney and Eric
Haley (red, sight and capture/release records), Bob Barber
(yellow, sight,
mostly his home county), Norm and Cheryl Lavers
(green,
sight, mostly northeast) and
Kenny Nichols (blue, sight, mostly east and south).
Recently had to add Charles Mills
with his
increasing dragon spotting and photo skills leading to some records in the SW
part of the state. A few records are from the
Heritage
Commission at Grand Prairie (turquoise) and some
records from Odonate Central are in turquoise as well. I believe these are mostly sight
records and photo documented records. Bob Thomas in NW AR will be purple.
David Arbour will be in pale yellow. Records from John Abbott's Odonate Central site are mostly new George
Harp records but are marked in dark gray to separate them. And update forwarded
by
George Smith of
Ozark-only species in 2014 now has red with white center markings. He had two
other species for Arkansas which show up nowhere else in any sites or books. I
have not added these. His updates added scattered Ozark counties for some
species. Two-colored Bull's-eye marks otherwise show the
black Harp records with a secondary observer added. I will be happy to investigate any
rare sightings but cannot take sight records from other observers unless
confirmed by a photo or a specimen. (For Central American travelers here is Paulson's
La Selva Costa Rica list.)
