A dragonfly!

Beautiful turquoise dragonfly on a perching stick

What's not to love about a dragonfly?

1. It has a cute face with a happy little grin.

2. It eats mosquitoes. (That gives me a happy grin.)

3. It can throw its chin way out to catch prey.

4. It will sit on your finger, head, or knee if you are in the water and there's no "perching stick" nearby.

5. A dragonfly's wingspan used to be almost 3 feet long, but in a few hundred million years, it has shrunk a bit. 

Dragonflies are always welcome in my organic garden in Cibolo, Texas.

I need a few hundred of those in my yard around 8pm tonight.  They will have an excellent meal, I promise!

1. It has a cute face with a happy little grin.????????? I just don't see it Robin. I guess they are great for the garden but as far as looks, your idea of cute and my idea of cute are way different.

Your friend, Carl

Robin, What a neat picture of the dragonfly.  We don't have mosquitoes and I guess that is the reason that we don't have many dragonflies

Robin, anything that eats mosquitoes is ok in my book.  Recently, I had the opportunity to take a picture of a dragonfly for the first time...I was surprised that it would fly around and land on the same rock...very cooperative dragonfly.
