Hi all,

I hope that winter is treating you well! 

Just putting this out here, in case anyone has any details. Doing my due diligence :) 

I am currently compiling the Middlesex County ode checklist. I am working off a list given to me several years ago, and there are a few species that are entirely plausible, but I have not been able to find evidence for (i.e., photos online or mentions in the many volumes of Ontario Odonata).

The species are:
Taiga Bluet (Coenagrion resolutum)
Ashy Clubtail (Phanogomphus lividus)
Dusky Clubtail (Phanogomphus spicatus)
Crimson-ringed Whiteface (Leucorrhinia glacialis)
Elfin Skimmer (Nannothemis bella) 

I suspect the Crimson-ringed Whiteface and Elfin Skimmers records originate from Sifton Bog or perhaps the Westminster Ponds in London. 

I would appreciate some insight if anyone out there has any!

Thanks,
Quinten
