A list of records of anisopteran larvae and final instar exuviae with attached zebra mussels is provided. It contains records of 29 specimens from 10 spp. with zebra mussels including 2 new records. The possibilities how this association between odonate larvae and zebra mussels comes into being are discussed. Considering the biology and the life history of the mussels, from a few of the recorded cases of this interaction it is assumed that the larval development of the Odonata involved is more variable than hitherto known.
