• Date & Time: Tuesday, January 14, 2025 – 6:30 PM
• Note - this is the second Tuesday of January
• Location: Morris County Library, 30 East Hanover Ave, Whippany, NJ and via Zoom
• Topic: An Introduction to New Jersey’s Damselflies
• Presented By: Tom Halliwell

What's It About? The program will showcase the beauty of what are, typically, very small and overlooked insects. The photographs will cover distinctions separating damselflies from their cousins, the dragonflies. Then we’ll move on to note various damselfly behaviors, the several groups of damselflies, and their habitats. We will spend most of the time in northern NJ where the majority of our species fly. But we’ll end on the Coastal Plain for a few which don’t make it up this way- at least not yet.
