The Staten Island Dragonfly Survey was started in 1996 by Paul Lederer. Today, the Staten Island Dragonfly Atlas is an activity of the Section of Natural History of the Staten Island Museum, with guidence from Mr. Lederer.
Volunteer counters are the base of the Atlas's data collection by going out to local ponds, and fields to observe and record what dragonflies they see. Please contact Seth Wollney for information on volunteering for this survey.
Around 2PM, in Clove Lakes Park near the pine trees on Forest Avenue, there were about 7-8 Common Green Darners flying around. The weather was humid with cloud cover after morning rain.
