The occurrence data that is included in the this web page comes
from a database originally maintained by Mike May. More
recently the data has been turned over to Allen Barlow who has
continued to maintain it as the official database of NJ odonate
occurrence. The checklists presented on this web page are
developed from that database and are updated as new material is
published. Other material in the web page is from various sources, such as
Natureserve and the NJ DEP's Natural Heritage Program who supplied
the Global and State rankings for the various species.
More current data on flight seasons by county and region may be gleaned by downloading this Excel spreadsheet created by Mike Hannisian. It looks at records from NJOdes, Odonata Central, and iNaturalist.
