Dragonflies & Climate

This chart displays the relationship between the species of dragonflies seen in different climate conditions.  Typically, the sunnier and clearer the sky is, the more dragonflies present; something seen across every species observed. This is because dragonflies are coldblooded controlling their body temperature through the sun, allowing for them to perform their hunting activities.

The data above shows the distribution of dragonflies we found at each location visited. The increased variety of biomes (forest, wetlands, Savannah) - along with more frequent visits to North Park correlate to the large difference in quantity of dragonflies compared to the remaining areas.
