On September 25th at 7:00 PM, MUCBO will host the presentation of the new book by Xavier Canyelles, a naturalist and illustrator specializing in entomology. The event will be introduced by naturalist and MUCBO collaborator Lluc Garcia.

This book, titled Dragonflies and Damselflies of the Balearic Islands, is a scientifically rigorous yet accessible guide that helps identify the 24 odonate species found in the Balearic Islands. Each species is described in detail, with accurate illustrations and up-to-date information on their biology, behavior, and habitat.

“The streamlined, aerodynamic, and almost fantastical form of dragonflies and damselflies has always captured the attention of both popular culture and naturalists. When you also consider their fascinating water-related life cycle and their long migrations, the justification for studying them becomes even clearer.”

A must-attend event for nature lovers, insect watchers, and those interested in the natural heritage of the Balearic Islands.
