November is our end-of-season for Ohio Dragonflies. We're seeing cooler days, but the near-term weather looks to be favorable for finding some of our late season Odonata.

Here's a map of November data from the OOS database. Dark shading means recent records, lighter shading means we have historical data, white means no data (yet!)

Happy hunting!

Ohio is now experiencing a cold wave. After a warm start, we've now had multiple nights with freezing temps, and the forecast looks like not much change for the next week. There may be a few Autumn Meadowhawks left if we get back to the 60's, but the season is nearly wrapped up.

Nov 10 is currently the latest date with observations, 17 have been submitted for that day.

We do have 197 research grade submissions for November so far, 9 species and 38 counties (including several first time Nov observations). Not bad, a little behind 2021 in numbers.

Please try to get any remaining photos into iNaturalist so we can finalize IDs.
