Explanation for why we don't see two-foot-long #dragonflies anymore fails
For decades, we thought that any dragonflies the size of hawks needed highly oxygenated air to survive because #insect breathing systems are less efficient than those of mammals, birds, or reptiles. As atmospheric #oxygen levels dropped, there wasn’t enough to support giant bugs anymore. “It’s a simple, elegant explanation,” said Edward Snelling, a professor of veterinary science. “But it’s wrong.”

Seeing Red: Dragonflies and Humans Share the Same Red-light Detection Mechanism
"A new study from Osaka Metropolitan University (OMU) has found that dragonflies sense red light similarly to mammals, including us. As many medical devices also rely on red light, their findings could be important not just in zoology but also in medical fields that rely on red light-sensing."

Der Europäische Libellenkunde-Kongress https://ecoo24.wordpress.com/ findet 2026 zum 8. Mal statt. Tagungsort vom 23. bis 26. Juni ist Kloster Niepokalanów in Teresin (PL). Wissenschaftler*innen, Naturschutzfachleute und Libellen-Freund*innen tauschen sich über Biologie, Ökologie sowie Monitoring und Schutz von #Libellen . Auf dem Plakat sind Grüne Mosaikjungfer und Krebsschere abgebildet; die Libelle legt ihre Eier nur an dieser Pflanze ab.

"Robot Dragonflies: How Ornithopter Drones Fly!
In one of the most magical moments of Cirque du Soleil's ECHO, dragonflies flutter around just above the audience's heads. As someone who has always wanted to fly a drone as part of a theater show, Adam Savage had MANY questions"

Digitale Bestimmungshilfe
Bald fliegen wieder die Libellen. Es gibt eine App, die es auch Laien möglich macht, Libellenarten zu bestimmen. "ID-Logics" mit dem Modul "Libellen" ist kostenlos für Android und iOS. Sie führt Schritt für Schritt durch die Bestimmungsmerkmale und liefert Informationen zu Biologie und Verbreitung der Arten. Testet gerne die App direkt aus und viel Spaß beim bestimmen!

Gemeine Winterlibelle ist Libelle des Jahres 2026!
Der Bund für Umwelt und Naturschutz Deutschland (BUND) und GdO haben die Gemeine Winterlibelle (Sympecma fusca) zur Libelle des Jahres gekürt. Sie hat mit ihrer Schwesterart der Sibirischen Winterlibelle (S. paedisca) eine bei einheimischen Libellen einmalige Fähigkeit: Sie überwintert als erwachsenes Insekt. Das schafft keine andere Art.#dragonfly #damselfly #dragonflies #libellula #libellen #Libelle #GdO #Sympecma #LibelleDesJahres

They say if you spot a dragonfly and a four-leaf clover on the same day, something magical is about to happen. I hope something magical happens for you 🪄😊❤️

One-quarter of freshwater fauna threatened with extinction
"Prevalent threats include pollution, dams and water extraction, agriculture and invasive species, with overharvesting also driving extinctions."
