Brojniji i veći nego ikada do sada, u avgustu je u Srbiji održan VI Balkanski Odonatološki sastanak (BOOM 2016). Od 5. do 12. avgusta više od 30 učesnika iz Bosne i Hercegovine, Holandije, Makedonije, Njemačke, Slovenije i Srbije istraživalo je viline konjice jugoistočne Srbije. Obišli smo veliki broj zanimljivih staništa upoznajući faunu vilinih konjica ovog regiona, a uz to prikupili i znatan broj novih podataka o distribuciji velikog broja vrsta, među kojima su posebno interesantni nalazi proljetnog dvopjega (Epitheca bimaculata), velikog potočara (Cordulegaster heros) i žutokrilog livadara (Sympetrum flaveolum).

Šestom BOOM-u prisustvovala je i najbrojnija ekipa iz BiH do sada, a koju je činilo pet učesnika iz Banja Luke, Bijeljine, Mostara, Nevesinja i Sarajeva.

Kao i svake godine, tokom sastanka smo čuli veliki broj zanimljivih prezentacija o vilinim konjicima Balkana i Evrope, a ovaj put smo imali priliku da se upoznamo i sa malo drugačijom perspektivom i vidimo kako to viline konjice vide umjetnici i inžinjeri.

Mali dio atmosfere prenosimo vam fotografijama.

More numerous and larger than ever before, the 6^th Balkan Odonatological meeting (BOOM 2016) was held in August in Serbia. From 5^th to 12^th August, more than 30 participants from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Netherlands, Macedonia, Germany, Slovenia and Serbia investigated dragonflies of southeast Serbia. We visited numerous interesting habitats and also collected a significant number of new data on the distribution of a large number of species, among which are especially interesting Eurasian Baskettail (Epitheca bimaculata), Balkan Goldenring (Cordulegaster heros) and Yellow-winged Darter (Sympetrum flaveolum).

The 6^th BOOM was attended by the largest group of participants from BiH so far, and consisted of five participants from Banja Luka, Bijeljina, Mostar, Nevesinje and Sarajevo.

Like every year, during the meeting we heard a number of interesting presentations about dragonflies of the Balkans and Europe, but this time we had the opportunity to meet with a slightly different perspective and see how dragonflies are seen by artists and engineers.

A small part of the atmosphere we bring you with photographs.

See you next year in Slovenia!
