The genus \u003cem\u003eZygonyx\u003c\/em\u003e — the torrent hawks — is specialised for life along fast-flowing rivers and waterfalls, where these strong, agile fliers patrol turbulent water with remarkable precision and speed. Named after Ida, a figure from classical mythology, \u003cem\u003eZygonyx ida\u003c\/em\u003e is a robust and handsomely marked species with the elongated, powerful build characteristic of the genus, well adapted to the demanding conditions of its torrent habitat. Torrent hawks are among the more challenging and rewarding dragonflies to collect, given their preference for remote, fast-flowing waterways, lending each specimen an additional layer of field interest. In spread position, the powerful build and elegant proportions of this specialist dragonfly are displayed to excellent effect — a distinctive and characterful addition to any Odonata collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect for entomologists, natural history collectors, educators, artists, interior designers seeking authentic Victorian cabinet aesthetics, and anyone passionate about the extraordinary diversity of the insect world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BugsDirect","offers":[{"title":"Pack of 1","offer_id":46807352967357,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pack of 3","offer_id":46807353000125,"sku":null,"price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pack of 5","offer_id":46807353032893,"sku":null,"price":59.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1228\/7064\/files\/zygonyxidaJv.jpg?v=1779197623","url":"https:\/\/www.bugsdirect.com\/products\/zygonyx-ida-dragonfly-specimen-a1-spread-odonata","provider":"BugsDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
