Here in the South Texas' Lower Rio Grande Valley, the total number of odonates documented
thus far is 95 species (28 damselfly species and 67
dragonfly species) from Cameron, Hidalgo, Starr and Willacy Counties. Las libélulas are some of the most
interesting creatures flying around.
Lots of folks are becoming aware of what neat odonata we have down here. The
Valley Nature Center's Dragonfly Days has introduced these fun creatures to many, many people. Join us in Weslaco for
this slow-paced event, each May.
In the meantime, come on down to the Valley, enjoy the heat, bring your cameras and nets
and help us grow our LRGV odonata list.
