His website and his data on the Inaturalist application allow us to refine the identifications, at least partially.<br>In 2009,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dragonflyfund.org\/images\/reports\/IDF_Report_16_Hoffmann_Cowley_2009_small.pdf\">an IDF report<\/a>\u00a0listed 481 species of Dragonflies of Peru. In July 2023, this number had increased to 523, including more than 200 in the Amazonian part.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Geographically, we are very close to the equator, in the rainforest, with a tropical climate. It is hot, but above all very humid, with thunderstorms at the end of the day. Progress in the forest is difficult, very often in the mud, the vegetation is invasive and obstacles follow one another. Ants, wasps, flies and other mosquitoes complicate the picture and each species has to be earned\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will find them mainly on streams invaded by vegetation, generally in the shade or in rare gaps of light. But also on some ponds, marshy areas or simple temporary puddles.<br>These are most often areas completely flooded, several months, during the rainy season. We will go twice to the&nbsp;<em>Terra Firme<\/em>&nbsp;, an area that is never underwater, to find really different species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The red ellipse, in the Tamshiyacu Tahuayo Communal
