The Thai Dragonfly Flag is Still Flying (Dec 2024)


Still Searching for Dragons in Thailand

This is just a quick update to let anyone know who's interested in this blog on Thai odonata (is there anyone?). I am still perfectly OK and very much still out looking for dragonflies within Thailand's borders. I haven't been as active as I would have liked to have been in recent years due to time constraints and budget issues (I am skint most of the time haha). 

I haven't really posted anything for a good few years on this blog and I have been made aware that there are a few people out there who regularly use it as a reference for ID etc.

Therefore, I am in the process of updating everything on the blog. This will include:


- Updating some of the recent name changes

- Adding MANY new and improved photos of existing species on the blog 

- Adding a new of new species for my records

- Adding write ups once more on my field trips

- Adding write ups on some of my better trips over past few years that I haven't included 

 

So keep a lookout for new posts... I have a lot of work ahead just to catch up! In the meantime, here are a few photos to whet your appetite from a trip to Doi Inthanon back in July 2024 with Noppadon Makbun. Thanks, Dennis.
