9:00 AM - 12:00 NOON
Format: In-Person
Instructor: Joseph Langlois & Christa Wise
Fee: FREE Registration required
https://arboretum.uoguelph.ca/educationandevents/workshops
Join us for our second annual Odonate Count at The Arboretum! We will spend the day out on the Arboretum grounds searching for, catching, and identifying the Dragonflies and Damselfishes (Odonates) found here. As an inventory project, we will be using iNaturalist to document our findings, so please come with an iNaturalist account and have it downloaded on your phone.
This is a free event for those interested in helping us inventory the diversity of these incredible insects that call The Arb home. While experience with Odonate identification and capture is appreciated, this event is open to everyone willing to help. To learn how to identify dragonflies and damselflies, see our Dragonfly Workshop (information will be coming soon for this).
Nets will be provided for the duration of the count.
Check out our results from our first Odonate Count in 2025: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/arboretum-odonate-count-2025
*Maximum 25 adults.
