These insects play an essential role as biological controllers and environmental bioindicators. This study aims to identify the types of dragonflies and damselfishes that found around Mahaka River, Hasanuddin University Teaching Forest. This research was held in October 2018. Observation and retrieval of dragonfly and damselfly data were carried out using the line transect and plot method. The samples were taken from 3 (three) zones with the distance between zones is 15 meters. The results showed that there were 12 types of dragonflies and damselflies from 3 familia found, namely Libellulidae (8 species), Chlorocyphidae (1 species), and Coenagrionidae (3 species).
