Migratory mixed swarms of Miathyria marcella and Pantala flavescens in the Honduran Caribbean (Odonata: Libellulidae)

While some odonate species migrations through Latin America have been documented, there is still a lack of knowledge of this phenomenon, especially in Central American countries. It is crucial to understand the complete migratory routes of these species and the specific times of year when these movements occur. In this short communication, we report the observation of migratory mixed swarms of Miathyria marcella and Pantala flavescens at Laguna de Brus, Gracias a Dios, on the Caribbean coast of Honduras. We propose that our observation represents a stopover in a mixed north–south migration of these two species. This observation adds another point on the map within the route of these mixed swarms, helping to gradually piece together the puzzle of dragonfly migratory routes in the Americas.
