I am interested in long term ecological monitoring of Zygoptera (Damselflies), Vespula & Dolichovespula (Aerial and Ground Yellowjackets) and Bombus (Bumble Bees) in Alberta.

I've conducted extensive Damselfly surveys of Southern Alberta since 2003. In my spare time I enjoy travelling around southern Alberta and swinging a net at a road side slough to catch a damselfly or two. So far, I've come across 20 of the 23 species present in Alberta.

Here is a link to my website, www.insectsofalberta.com, which has photos and maps that show where I have encountered each of the different species of damselflies in Alberta.

If you re interested in Alberta Damselflies, I've created a project, "Damselflies of Alberta" (https://inaturalist.ca/projects/damselflies-of-alberta), to show which species are present in Alberta and where they have been found.
