Dragonfly


Actually it's two dragonflies.  The first one I saw flitting around in Julie's garden at her house.  He had a rather shiny body but his wings are almost invisible against the greenery.


This one was spotted at a local nursery and it was sitting pretty at the very tip of a leaf.  This one is a lot brighter in color than the first one.  His wings stand out a lot more.

Two insects, miles apart doing pretty much the same thing!

  5. That's what they do -- sit at the very tip of leaves and rushes, waiting for prey. (Smaller insects, not us!)
