General Status - Overview of Odonates

116 species of dragonflies and damselflies have been reported in Nova Scotia

A large dragonfly known as the Quebec Emerald, has only been recorded from bogs on the Cape Breton Highlands, and Cumberland County and only a few other locations in the world

Much of what we know about the distribution of dragonflies in Nova Scotia and eastern Canada has been through the work of dedicated naturalists

The Odonata had the highest proportion of species with undetermined status (Undetermined ~ 28.0%) of any taxonomic group considered
