This dragonfly stayed on this leaf for what seemed like forever. I saw him fly off once or twice but he returned to the exact same spot! It is directly over my rain barrel which is the breeding ground for frogs (and mosquitoes) in my yard. Knowing that dragonflies eat tadpoles and mosquitoes indicates to me he was just waiting for a meal or browsing the menu below!
i love dragonflies. sadly i don't see them around here in toronto, even down at the trail. i get mosquito bites though so i'm always wearing a patch. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. in any case, i stay away from grassy places as we are told that there are black fleas now even in the city -- the result of people going camping or hiking in infested areas with their dogs. and lyme disease is just a downer. i have a friend who has it, got it from hiking, too, and they have spent so much money just so she'd get better but only just. aces on the pov. i like it!
@olivetreeann LOL! You might be right Thanks Ann @lesip their faces always look like that to me! @maggiemae he was really well in the light but the background was in shade . Thanks MM especially for the FAV @randystreat he sure stayed there a long time as if he was posing! @louannwarren I am really happy you like it so much Lou Ann thanks! @dutchothotmailcom Thank you Esther. I thought he posed nicely too @wyomingsis thanks bunches! I was grateful for his patience with me! @taffy Thank you Taffy! I really appreciate it. @ludwigsdiana Thanks Diana! There are tons of mosquito larvae just waiting to be devoured! @gijsje I am glad you like it and thank you bep @pej2 Thanks so much Paul. I wondered why we had do many around our house and now I know~! @tunia I totally agree and love that this is such a pretty way to eliminate them! @bruni He probably does but is more interested in his next meal. I am sorry you don't have any where you live. @shutterbug49 I have never heard of those before so I am guessing we don't. I doubt one would live in my rain barrel anyway! @summerfield Thanks Vikki. I have never hear of a mosquito patch. They bother my husband more than me and I have heard B vitamins help keep them away. We have fleas every now and then because of the dogs but not all the time.
