Meet Snagglepuss

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Ward County Notary Services 607851

Last year I had a wonderful shot of an unusual dragonfly perched on the casing of my garage door. Yesterday I spotted "Snagglepuss". Another unique dragonfly.

I named him/her Snagglepuss because the markings on his head reminded me of a cat. He may look more like Garfield than Snagglepus but that was the first cat name that came to mind. Another unique thing about this dragon fly is that no matter how I focused on it, it's wings remained totally transparent. Eventually I got to close and it flew away.

A note of interest: Being I didn't remember much about the cartoon (Snagglepuss) I looked it up. He was a "filler" cartoon on The Quick Draw McGraw Show, 1959 and on. It seems the LBGT+ crowd is making a big thing today about him being gay because of his voice. I highly doubt that his creator, Daws Butler, thought of him as anything but male in 1959... and who the heck cares? That being said I will now "Exit stage left" (Snagglepuss's famous line).

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.

I am not a fan of any flying creatures that are not birds. That being said, isn't nature amazing.

It (God) sure is Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty . I was also thinking that this dragonfly is perfect for the times as it looks like a "Goth" dragonfly.

Bob "RealMan" Timm hi Bob... I second the comment made by Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty  Can't say I see a lot of these dragon flies, but then again, I can't say I look for them.

I look for them because each one seems so unique from the others AND they eat mosquito. Any enemy of the mosquito is a friend of mine Nina Hollander, Broker 😇

I have seen many a dragonfly zipping last but never went after one to consider giving it a name other than bug

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 I was sitting in a swinging chair hung on the same tree that the dragonfly landed on. I think they are so cool 😎

Bob "RealMan" Timm funny you should blog about a dragonfly today.  I had one sitting on one of my hummingbird feeders yesterday when I was trying to change the water.

That happens to me occasionally while reading AR posts as well George Souto . Someone tells a story that just happened to me as well.

Alrighty then Bob. We have some weird creatures here on earth that God created. I am happy to have seen "Snagglepuss" today. Jeff

I agree about the "weird" Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty . Had I not seen this dragonfly land on the tree I most likely never would have known it was there because it blended in so perfectly.

Wow what a beautiful bug! I haven't seen one of them.

The two things that stood out to me Kat Palmiotti were: 1) it looked so today's goth. 2) it matched the bark of the tree so well it was nearly invisable.

I have never known a dragonfly, yet alone a dragonfly named snagglepuss, haha.  I like the photos that you captured of him!

Thanks Brian England . I have a good camera but even with that I had a hard time making it's wings visible. God really protected this guy from any preditors. 😃

I like that you created a special unique name for this lovely dragonfly:) I imagine it was not easy to convince it to be your photo model and sit still:)

Thank you Inna Ivchenko, love the new picture. I guess the dragonfly needed a break from eating mosquitos. 😄
