The Dragonflies of Manitoba was written and produced by Doug Collicutt, NatureNorth, with editorial support from Dr. James Duncan, Manitoba Conservation and Marjorie Hughes, Manitoba Dragonfly Survey. Layout, design, image processing, diagrams, videos (except where noted) and animations by Doug Collicutt.

The information presented here was drawn from a wide array of web sites, books and personal contacts; far too many to list here. However, one source was considered to be paramount with respect to the integrity of basic biological information:

Dragonflies: Behavior and Ecology of Odonata, by Philip S. Corbet, Cornell University Press (January 1999).

The Dragonflies of Manitoba was supported by grants from Manitoba's:

Special Conservation Fund
and
Sustainable Development Innovations Fund

 

This project would not have been possible without the contributions of images and video from many dragonfly enthusiasts. Only those whose images were used in this web site are listed below, but our thanks go out to all who contributed their images for consideration. In all, more than 2000 images were made available for this project!
