Odonata Glass Wing-Mounts
at the UMMZ
In the earlier days, many Odonatologists prepared wings for
study by securely mounting a set of wings between two sheets of
thin glass with the edges sealed with black paper tape. We have
a number of these prepared by E.B. Williamson, and a lesser number
from C.H. Kennedy. Although they are not used much, they may still
constitute a useful resource. The specimens listed below are stored
with our main collection, but are kept seperate from the adults
stored in envelopes.

A few of the species listed below have been illustrated via
a color flat-bed scanner, and if you feel it would be worthwhile
for me to scan in a member of each genus in for web access,
please let me know. I
could certainly scan them more quickly via grayscale, but the
color patterns would be lost for many of the species.
