DragonflyID App
Reference
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Identify dragonflies and damselflies anywhere. Species lists for your region, flight seasons, photos and descriptions, and offline maps for the field.
Identify dragonflies and damselflies anywhere. See what flies in your area, learn when each species is on the wing, and take it all into the field, even without a signal.
WHAT LIVES HERE
Pick your region and get its species list, grouped by family, with dragonflies and damselflies a tap apart. Zoom out to your country or the whole world to see what's beyond your local patch.
SPECIES PAGES
Photos from contributors, a written description, a flight-season chart showing when the species is on the wing, and a map of where it has been recorded.
SEARCH THAT FORGIVES
Search every species worldwide by common or scientific name. Hyphens, apostrophes and accents don't trip it up, and species found in your region are marked.
READY FOR THE FIELD
Draw an area on the map before a trip and download it: maps, records and photos for the species recorded there, all available offline.
YOUR LISTS
Keep a life list of the species you've seen, and tick off checklists in the field. Ticks made offline are saved and sent when you're back online. Sign in to keep your lists; browsing needs no account at all.
GLOSSARY
Plain-language definitions of the terms used in species descriptions, from wing venation to appendages.
Built with Odonata Central. Occurrence data comes from GBIF, and photos from the community of photographers who contribute them. Free, with no ads and no tracking.
