Damsels and Dragons at Trenton-Hamilton Marsh

The title may sound like a Disney action thriller but this field trip is all about the bugs; well, the insects really.

The Scientific Order Odonata is the group of animals that includes damselflies and dragonflies. Some of these flying insects come in a spectrum of vibrant colors. If you want to see green darners, ebony jewelwings, violet dancers, painted skimmers or eastern amberwings come out on this exploration at the nearby Trenton-Hamilton Marsh.

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Trenton-Hamilton Marsh and the Washington Crossing Audubon Society and co-hosted by Lawrence Nature Center naturalist Rick Dutko.

The field trip is held at the Trenton-Hamilton Marsh on Sunday, June 12th, from 1 to 3 p.m. and will meet at Spring Lake at the end of Sewell Avenue in Trenton. For more information on this program visit the Trenton-Hamilton Marsh website at www.marsh-friends.org
