08/25/2003 Archived Entry: "Dragonflies"

Dragonfly Resting on ReedsI was reading steph's entry about the dragonfly she watched laying eggs, and it made me curious to find out more about the gorgeous dragonfly Dave and I saw on our camping trip in July. We'd asked one of the Park Wardens about it, but he couldn't tell us much from our description. But thanks to the wonderful internet I found out that it's a Twelve Spotted Skimmer. It was one of the largest dragonflies I've ever seen - about 6 inches across.

There are more nature and camping photos from our trip to Presqu'ile. Nature is good. Nature ++.
