It’s dragonfly migration season!

However, the most impressive migratory dragonfly prize likely goes to the globe skimmer dragonfly (Pantala flavescens), also appropriately known as globe wanderer or wandering glider, which researchers think migrates across the Indian Ocean. After taking into account body size, this hypothesized transoceanic journey would be the longest regular non-stop migratory flight known to science. Talk about a long-haul flight.
While no known migratory dragonfly species in North America are endangered right now, the enduring mystery of dragonfly migration complicates management and conservation efforts in its regard.
