2. Introduction Background
More than 30 orders in the insecta class in the world, one of them is Order Odonata.
(Williams, 1992)
- Anisozygoptera
- Zygoptera
- Anisoptera
3 suborder
Dragonfly is an aquatic insect.
Odonata do play important role as bioindicator.

3. Problem Statement Significance of Study
Less information on the diversity and abundance of Odonata.
The activities of construction and
excavation of some land nearby National
Botanical Garden Shah Alam .
Problem Statement
Significance of Study
Can act as indicator and references for further studies on diversity and abundance of Odonata.
Beneficial to create awareness among us the important of dragonfly to determine the ecosystem quality.

4. Study Site National Botanical Garden Shah Alam – 817 hectares
Lake B – transect line -200 meters
Lake A – transect line -200 meters
National
Botanical Garden Shah Alam – 817 hectares

5. Objectives of Study
To determine the temporal variation in diversity and abundance of Odonata in National Botanical Garden Shah Alam .
To determine diversity and abundance of Odonata population in National Botanical Garden Shah Alam between two lakes.

6. Literature Review

7. There are 5680 species of Odonata are known (Kalkman, 2008).
Dragonflies
There are 5680 species of Odonata are known (Kalkman, 2008).
Large proportion of odonate species lives in lentic water and some odonates lives at ponds (Raebel et al., 2011).
Dragonflies do have no hairy structures on the wing membrane (Gorb et al., 2000) and have powerful aerobatic flight enabling them to catch prey (Sharma & Joshi, 2007).
