Abstract

This paper describes a project, initiated in 1998, to describe the diversity of dragonflies in Kakadu National Park, in northern Australia. Almost 20 years later, the development of an app and a citizen science project, 'Dragonflies and the Dry', has produced a large, image-based dataset on tropical dragonflies and demonstrated the value of digital media for communicating wetland science and biodiversity conservation.
