I remember reading somewhere that, in their larval stage, dragonflies are actually eaten by mosquitoes.
So, in a poetic kinda way, it could be construed that dragonflies simply spend the rest of their lives avenging the deaths of their brothers and sisters who were killed as babies.

I'm not sure if it was the same one but last summer I had one in my backyard that would come sit on my arm sometimes. He'd sit for 2 or 3 minutes.
Dragonflies are one of the planets most resilient species. The survived The Great Dying, the End of the Dionsaurs and the Toba Supervolcano that nearly sent humanity into extinction.
A couple from last year...
Fantastic Macro work!
So good you can see that your lawn mower blade needs to be sharpened.
What lens did you use?
Although I believe they are Dragonflies the photographs do look more like what I'd call Damselflies.
was his name Frank? I bet it was the same guy! Friendly fellow
I like George personally. He is cool
ya whatever ... Frank told me all about him, nothing but trouble
BULLSHIT - Frank is just pissed that George is hung like a grasshopper and Frank is sprouting a tiny dangler like a tinsy fly. I have the pics from the last bug bang to prove it.
The joy of the late spring is that both are out at the same time. Of course the good side is it keeps the less hard core campers out of provincial parks.
