There are almost 300 species of dragonflies in Costa Rica. From these about 275 are described and about 15 is not.
The La Selva Biological station in Sarapiqui area is one of the best places where dragonflies have been studied, where about 130species were recorded.
Usually they can be eaisly found around little creeks, rivers, swampy wetlands, where lands meet water. These lovely smaller or bigger helicopters can be really colorful and attractive, however if you would try to take a photo of them, it is not easy at all. They are always on the wings and make very fast movements.
The best time to see them better when they lay eggs, then they stay still for a while.
At Toucan ecolodge you have a chance for dragonflies close to the swimming pool where they like to rest and come down to the water, but in the forest trails as well. We are working on our list of dragonflies for the moment, so no list until now.:-(
