NJ's Next Odonates?
Just for fun, since we have been adding new species to the state
list fairly regularly, what should we be looking for next? We
put together this list, some are just wishful thinking, others are
likely candidates. The ones with an asterisk are ones that
both Jim and Allen feel are reasonable to expect. Most of the
rest are species that have been recorded within 200 miles of New
Jersey or have occurred in 2 states that border NJ (keep in mind,
they may be 350 miles away, but heck, we like to dream) Keep your eyes open for them, and if you do
find one, please let us know.
