About the project
A scientific information platform for Indonesian dragonflies and damselflies.
Mission
This project aims to provide an accessible and continuously updated scientific reference for Indonesian Odonata, including taxonomy, species identification, distribution records, ecological information, and photographic documentation.
The platform is designed for researchers, naturalists, photographers, students, conservationists, and biodiversity enthusiasts who need a structured place to explore and share information.

The main species list follows global odonate taxonomy references, especially Odonata Central and the World Odonata List, with supporting updates from taxonomic papers and regional literature.
Distribution maps use external occurrence records from GBIF as supporting evidence. These points help visualize records in Indonesia but may still require expert review, especially for uncertain coordinates or misidentified observations.
Species profiles, notes, and articles are supported by published papers, taxonomic revisions, original descriptions, field observations, and curated reference material.
This website is an evolving reference. Taxonomy, records, and locality evidence may be updated as new literature, verified photographs, or expert feedback become available.
Island records and species-list filters are based on curated Odonata of Indonesia data, while external datasets are treated as supporting evidence.
GBIF or other database points may include uncertain coordinates, legacy identifications, duplicates, or records that still need expert review.
Species profiles, references, distribution notes, and images may change as new literature, expert corrections, and traceable contributions become available.
Policies and guidance
Odonata of Indonesia is developed through scientific curation, field documentation, literature work, and contributions from the odonate community.
Odonata of Indonesia is maintained through contributions from people who provide taxonomic information, literature notes, field records, photographs, and data corrections.
Contributions are reviewed before they are incorporated into public species pages or database updates. Scientific content is curated to maintain taxonomic accuracy and traceability.

Species names and taxonomic placement are primarily based on accepted taxonomic references, including the World Odonata List / Odonata Central and relevant scientific literature.
Distribution information may come from curated checklist data, literature, verified observations, and selected external occurrence datasets. External records such as GBIF are used as supporting evidence and may contain uncertainty.
