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.
