About the speaker: Dr Chris Burwell is the senior Scientist and Curator of Entomology at the Queensland Museum. He has worked as an entomologist at the Queensland Museum since 1995 and specialises in Hymenoptera (wasps, bees and ants) and Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies). He has surveyed ants and Odonata widely in Queensland and is interested in the potential of both groups as indictors of environmental health and change.
Title of talk: Chasing dragons and damsels in south-east Queensland
Chris will talk about his photographic journey to obtain dragonfly and damselfly images for the recently published pocket guide to the Dragonflies and Damselflies of South-east Queensland. The talk will feature interesting aspects of the biology of our local species and the role that of citizen scientists can play in documenting changes in the distributions of dragonfly and damselfly species over time.
