Aaron,
You might also try setting up a light and sheet at night by the water body.
I have accidently attracted dragonflies at night with lights in the past. I
hope this helps.
Thanks,

Subject: [ECOLOG-L] How to collect Green Darner Dragonflies? (Anax sp.) in
Gainesville, FL?
Hello,
I need to get ahold of a regular supply, about 10-15 every couple of
weeks, of dragonflies in the genus Anax.
These seem to be some of the most challenging to get with the standard
daytime netting method, as they land much less frequently than other
species and are almost always over water.
Any suggestions?
Can they be easily found at night resting, etc.?
Thanks!
