Abstract
Fourteen damselfly and dragonfly species were recorded in 68 visits to a wadi pool in northern Oman, March 2012 to June 2014. All identifications were based on photographs. Apparently the pool has a core community of eight resident species. Paragomphus sinaiticus, globally Near Threatened, was regularly recorded.
