This list has been extracted from the collections of Francis Evans, Mark O’Brien, Edward Kormondy, and Earl Werners’ Lab (identifications by Chris Davis and Shannon McCauley). Species that are known to have larval populations on the ESGR (including Sayles Lake) are noted as such with an * asterisk. The larval records are part of a long-term survey of the majority of the aquatic habitats on the ESGR by the Werner Lab and should present a fairly complete list for the Anisopterans. The Zygopteran list, on the other hand, is probably missing several species that are likely to exist on the ESGR.
