Details

Everyone can participate. The goal is to try to record as many species from as many places in the Western Hemisphere as possible in the two census periods to generate a snapshot of odonate distribution.

Dates: 16-23 July 2022.

The final repository for the data will be Odonata Central. These data will be critical in filling gaps in the Odonata Central data set. All data on Odonata Central are freely available to everyone to explore or download.

Help make this project a success. Plan to participate.
How to Contribute

Overview: Submit your odonate observations to Odonata Central or join the iNaturalist projects. Enter observations on as many days of the Odolympics as you wish.

All Odolympics participants must be registered users of Odonata Central, even if you plan to join the iNaturalist projects. Registration is free and takes only a few minutes.

If you are planning to join the iNaturalist projects, you have to register on Odonata Central and add your iNatualist user name to your profile. (After registering and/or logging in, click the blue My Account button in the top menu.) If you do not do this, your iNatualist observations cannot be counted toward the Odolympics total. This only has to be done once for all future Odolympics projects.
