A former Queens resident, Ed Lam is the author and illustrator of Dragonflies of North America, the latest and most comprehensive identification guide to these charismatic insects. He will introduce the audience to the variety of North America’s dragonflies and how to identify them. His previous book was Damselflies of the Northeast, a guide to species of eastern Canada and the northeastern United States. Ed Lam will have a few copies of his book with him that can be purchased at the meeting, so please make sure you have cash with you.
