Abstract

Around the Harsul Lake and Salim Ali Lake in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India, a thorough study on the species diversity of odonates was carried out in 2021โ€“2022, recording about 12 species belonging to 03 families within 2 suborders of the order Odonata. The order Odonata's most prevalent family, the Libellulidae, had eight species, followed by the Coenagrionidae, which had three, and the Gomphidae, which had one. The months of July through September saw the mass emergence of Brachythemis contaminata (Fabricius, 1793) and the migratory species Trithemis pallidinervis (Kirby, 1889).
