The use of a lower case, or small, letter means that it is a member of a larger group of dragonflies. The species names of dragonflies in this book are their common, rather than scientific, names. This means that a dragonfly with a common name in one region may have a different name in another. // A quiet weedy pond makes an ideal breeding place for many kinds of dragonfly.
