Dragonfly Lore

A good spot to cast their fate to the waters...

Four Dragonflies

A good example of sexual dimorphism. The blue of the male probably attracts the more drab female (laying eggs).

Tandem Twosome

Notice the tip of the female's abdomen. It's just under the surface, dropping eggs that will hatch out into fierce dragonfly nymphs, capable of ripping small fish and tadpoles apart in short order.

Blue Hairstreak

Tiny and fragile Hairstreak butterfly. Actual size; tip of little finger.

Arctic Skipper

This drab little butterfly is an amazingly fast and powerful flyer and travels a long, long way.

Swamp Shadows

The spirit-photographer emerges from the depths! (If the sun is just right and he can keep his canoe in the right place...)
