'Dragon' quest: RI's dragonflies and damselflies documented in new book

Dragon quest: RI s dragonflies and damselflies documented in new book Hugh Markey © Rhode Island Division of Fish and Wildlife An illustration of the Common Whitetail, one of the roughly 140 species of dragonflies and damselflies catalogued in the new book Dragonflies and Damselflies of Rhode Island, by Virginia A. Brown. It was a kind of quest, with a cast of characters like the Unicorn Clubtail, Coppery Emerald, Arrowhead Spiketail and Umber Shadowdragon, names straight out of a sword-and-sorcery novel. But biologist Virginia A. Brown knows that this cast is very real, which is why she spent nearly 10 years researching and cataloging the roughly 140 species of dragonflies and damselflies that roam through the Ocean State. The reward for her quest was Dragonflies and Damselflies of Rhode Island, written by Brown, illustrated by Nina Briggs and published by the Rhode Island Division of Fish and Wildlife.
