Agency to Designate Habitat for Dragonfly

The Hine's emerald dragonfly is shown in this undated photo. The dragonfly, a wetlands-dependent endangered species, is found in several Midwestern states including Michigan. Environmentalists who filed a lawsuit Feb. 4, 2004, to force the federal government to designate critical habitat for the endangered dragonfly say the two sides have reached an agreement.
