abstract
Insects are not only living creatures in themselves but they are the living flags of life quality circumstances on this unique planet. They symbolize what exists and what should exist for better life conditions. Dragonflies are can be taken as the living indicators of balance or imbalance in our ecological environment. The study carried out in Sikar district shows that temperature and relative humidity are the effective controlling factors of abundance of these insects. Their existing numbers increases for specific values of temperature and humidity. Data were collected for November, 2023 to October, 2024 period, from the selected places of Sikar district, where generally dragonflies are found in abundance. Results show that dragonfly specimens are scarce during the March-June months, when temperatures range from 13.8° to 41.9°C and relative humidity levels range from 23 to 53%. Dragonflies are more common in the months of July to October when they find a balance of temperature and relative humidity.
