LIBELLEN DES NORDENS 

Auf dieser Seite zeige ich die besten Libellenbilder meiner USA-Tour aus Juli 2025, die mich durch die Bundesstaaten Minnesota und North Dakota führte. Beide Bundesstaaten gehören zum nördlichen Teil des "mittleren Westens" und grenzen beide an Kanada.   

Ich stelle zunächst die Großlibellen vor (auf englisch: Dragonfly) und danach die Kleinlibellen (auf englisch: Damselfly), dabei innerhalb der Libellenfamilien. 

Die Reihenfolge ist alphabetisch, wobei ich mich nach der lateinischen Artbezeichnung richte. Der englische Name steht jeweils in Klammern dazu, falls es einen deutschen Namen gibt, steht auch der in Klammern dazu.

Zu sehen sind auf dieser Seite:
