Darners

Some Darners of the Bay Area

Darners are our largest dragonflies. All belong to genus Aeshna except for the Common Green
Darner, Genus Anax. The Aeshna are often referred to as "mosaic darners" due to the
beautiful and complex patterns on their abdomens. I liken these patterns to Navajo or Zuni Indian designs.
