Well, you guys are taking up tweeters time with Odonata, so so will I. At
least it's not controversial. ;-)

It's a *serious* field guide, Dale. How about that? It will have glorious
color photos and keys that can be used with live dragonflies in the field,
but it will also have technical keys and illustrations of wing venation and
other anatomical details. It will have a lengthy introduction about
dragonfly biology and will have lots of info about each species. It will
include a key to at least genera if not species of larvae, with
illustrations. Just writing about it makes me salivate; how I wish it were
already done!
