Torbiere del Sebino was excellent for Dragonflies and 24 species were seen, many of them new for me **. It wasn't just the number of species but the numbers of individuals that were around, swarms of some of them. One incredible phenomenon was the dozens of Dusk Hawkers that used to leave the reserve at dusk and hunt over the rooftops of the hotel until dark.
