Watching Dragonflies

The area is extremely rich of various water bodies – lakes, and marshes, and rivers, and brooks, and brooklets. These hydrological features of the region have contributed greatly to the extraordinary richness of dragonfly species. Also it should be noted that Bulgaria is not well studied in this respect and one may always be in for a surprise of finding some rare and even new for the country or Europe species, and why not some new one even for the science? A couple of years ago an expert working for our company Pandion-D discovered an absolutely new for the science species of dragonfly in South Bulgaria. So the challenges are waiting for you, lovers and fans of dragonflies!
