List of dragonflies of Menorca

Menorca is a small island in the Mediterranean Sea belonging to Spain.

Along with Majorca, Ibiza, and Formentera it is part of the Balearic Islands.

Despite this dragonflies are abundant on Menorca and in summer any pool of water will be alive with them.

Blue aeshna are frequently seen in late summer but there are not many positive identifications of either species on record.

On close observation these two species can be told apart as they have quite different body shapes.
