Searching for dragonflies in the Notzinger Moos: Discover the flying acrobats!
The Notzinger Moos in Erding will be the venue for an exciting event on Sunday, July 27, 2025 - the dragonfly hunt. The BUND Nature Conservation, Erding local group, invites all nature lovers from 10:00 a.m. to get to know these fascinating flying acrobats better. Led by Sascha Alexander, the participants have around three hours to look around the dragonflies' habitat and learn a lot of interesting things about these colorful insects.
What can participants expect? First of all, you should bring binoculars and a lot of patience, because the dragonfly-friendly environment demands attention. The meeting point is the parking lot at Notzinger Weiher, from where the group sets off into the moor. This biotope is particularly valuable because dragonflies serve as bioindicators and provide information about the health of habitats. Their occurrence shows how diverse and intact an area is. Some dragonfly species can live at altitudes of up to 2,000 meters and can even cross oceans - there's definitely something in the air!
The wonders of dragonflies
The world of dragonflies, also known as Odonata, is unique. These insects shimmer with metallic colors and have remarkable flight abilities. They can reach heights unimaginable for many animals and achieve flight speeds of up to 50 km/h. What's special: They control their front and rear wings independently, which gives them the ability to fly backwards or even stay in the air. While females lay eggs in plants using a stinger, the animals are completely harmless to humans - they cannot sting and therefore pose no danger.
Dragonfly vacationers will not only experience the beauty of the animals, but also the importance of their protection. The BUND Nature Conservation has launched an online portal in collaboration with the Bavarian State Office for the Environment to document observations of dragonflies. This not only contributes to the dissemination of knowledge, but also supports species protection. In Bavaria, the preservation of such habitats is becoming increasingly important, as dragonflies can be extremely endangered, as the Red List shows.
Participate and donate
Participation in the event is free, but donations to the Erding local group are welcome. Please note that the event will be canceled if it rains - if in doubt, you can contact the event by calling 08122 22878424.
In summary, searching for dragonflies in the Notzinger Moos offers an excellent opportunity to familiarize yourself with the wonderful world of dragonflies. These insects are not only beautiful, but also a significant part of our ecosystem.
