Abstract
Dragonfly survives in a particular range of climatic conditions. Its
abundance and distribution depend on biotic and abiotic factors as in other
insects. This research was undertaken to study the diversity and abundance of
dragonflies in Sikar region from October 2019 to July 2024. A combination of
random sampling, observation and opportunistic sighting methods were used to
record different species of dragonflies. Among the 31 dragonfly species
recorded, the most diverse family, Libellulidae was represented by 29 species,
Gomphidae and Cordulegastridae were present each with one species. But only 6
species were most abundant. Documentation of Odonata has not been done earlier
from Sikar region and our observations testify this region worthy of providing
suitable habitats for Odonata.
