Acanthaeschna Victoria
''Acanthaeschna victoria'', the thylacine darner, is a species of Australian dragonfly in the family Telephlebiidae. It is the only member of the genus ''Acanthaeschna''. ''Acanthaeschna victoria'' is rare and endemic to coastal areas of both southern and northern New South Wales as well as southern Queensland. Its natural habitat is intertidal marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby .... ''Acanthaeschna victoria'' is a large, brown dragonfly with a distinctive dark band on the side of its body that runs from the head to the abdomen. It has clear wings with a small dark stain at the nodus, the joint near the middle of the leading edge of each wing.

Aeshna Flavifrons
''Aeshna'', or the mosaic darners, is a genus of dragonflies from the family Aeshnidae. Species within this genus are generally known as "hawkers" (Old World) or "darners" (New World). Description These are relatively large dragonflies. Their thoraces and abdomens are brown in color, with blue or yellow stripes or spots on the thorax, and yellow, blue or green spots on the abdomen. Natalia von Ellenrieder's 2003 paper demonstrated that the Holarctic and Neotropical species placed in this genus did not share a common ancestor, and proposed the latter be placed in the genus '' Rhionaeschna''. The name ''Aeshna'' was coined by the Danish entomologist Fabricius in the 18th century. The name may have resulted from a printer's error in spelling the Greek ''Aechma'', "a spear". The spelling ''Aeschna'' has been intermittently used over a period of time, but is now abandoned for the original name ''Aeshna''. However, derived genus names (such as '' Rhionaeschna'') retain the 'sc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Aeshna Mixta
The migrant hawker (''Aeshna mixta'') is one of the smaller species of hawker dragonflies. It can be found away from water but for breeding it prefers still or slow-flowing water and can tolerate brackish sites. The flight period is from July to the end of October. ''A. mixta'' occurs in North Africa, southern and central Europe to the Baltic region. Identification ''A. mixta'' is a small ''aeshna'' which appears dark in flight. It is similar in appearance to other aeshnas but has a characteristic "golf-tee" shaped mark on the second segment of the abdomen (S2) which is diagnostic. In flight it looks like a small Emperor dragonfly with a blue abdomen which, when seen from the side, curves down. The main identification problem in the field is distinguishing this species from '' A. affinis'' where the two species fly together. The markings on the side of the thorax are different in '' A. affinis'' and ''A. mixta''. In '' A. affinis'' the sides of the thorax are greeny yellow with ...

Aeshna Minuscula
''Zosteraeschna minuscula'', the friendly hawker is a species of dragonfly in family Aeshnidae. It is found in South Africa and Namibia. Its natural habitats include ponds and still pools in montane streams. This is a fairly large species; 59–62 mm long with a wingspan of 76–83 mm. The thorax is brown with green stripes, and the abdomen is brown and blue. The eyes are green. It is similar to ''Pinheyschna subpupillata'' and ''Zosteraeschna usambarica'', but has an anchor- or T-shaped mark on the frons. Males have a blue saddle on the abdomen near the thorax, and females and teneral Ecdysis is the moulting of the cuticle in many invertebrates of the clade Ecdysozoa. Since the cuticle of these animals typically forms a largely inelastic exoskeleton, it is shed during growth and a new, larger covering is formed. The remna ...s have an amber wash on the wings.
