Fly_girl,

Attached is a pic of a female Common Whitetail taken today. I really like the interplay of colors and textures provided by the rock edging our flower bed. I am seeing more dragonflies this year than ever before.

So far I have been able to get both male and female of each, with the exception of the Widow Skimmer. I have the female but have not seen a male.

This years heavy concentration of dragonflies is the only thing that is keeping the mosquito concentration somewhat under control. They are terrible but would be much worse otherwise. Our subdivision is having to do our own spraying - no help from the city or county.
