Abstract:

Dragonflies provide more for the environment and our own health more than we credit them with. They also are a indicator species; if the dragon fly population is thriving the ecosystem usually is. Our goals for this project include: ● Establish a baseline for further studies ● Barcode various dragonfly samples ● Potentially discover novel species ● Determine the impact of the ecosystem on Humans
