Campfire Talk: Dragonflies & Damselflies
Join us for a fun campfire talk in the great outdoors! Campfire Talks are a series of educational & entertaining programs located outside in DeSoto State Park. Campfire programs are held many Friday & Saturday evening (June –October) in our large campfire ring inside the improved campground. Talks are for all ages, & open to everyone!
Dragonflies and damselflies are both predatory flying insects that look primitive and ancient because they are: fossil records show prehistoric species that are quite similar to modern species, although considerably larger. Modern dragonflies and damselflies are most prevalent in warmer regions, but some species can be found in almost every part of the world except for the polar regions. Join lepidopterist and photographer, Vitaly Charny, to learn more about the fascinating life-cycle of Alabama’s dragonflies and damselflies. He will share his stunning collection of images with intricate details and vibrant colors of Alabama's winged wonders.
Seating is limited, so bring your own comfortable camp chair if you wish.
