Welcome any day

I have been seeing more dragonflies at the marsh recently, more than I've noticed on previous years. (These are good insects to have around; they don't bite, they don't sting, and they devour numerous pesky insects daily!) I caught this attractive one yesterday. No luck trying to identify it so far, perhaps one of the darners?? Perhaps someone out there knows their Odonata better than I.

Gossamer wings

I saw this pretty dragonfly this morning. I wasn't able to identify it, although I think it is a kind of skimmer dragonfly, as they frequent marsh habitats. Any dragonfly experts out there??

How to Post a Comment

It seems there's some confusion as to how to make a comment, so I hope these directions make it easier (I like getting feedback).

Step 1: Under any posting, click on "O comments" (or "1 comment" or "2 comments", whatever the case may be). A new window will open, titled "Post a Comment" above a big blank space.

Step 2: Under the big space you'll see "Comment as" followed by a small space with a little blue box at the right end with a "v" in it. Click on the "v", and a menu will drop down.

Step 3: Click on "Name/URL" in the menu, and another window will open, titled "Edit profile". Enter your name, and ignore the URL part. Click "Continue".

Step 4: Write your comment in the big box.

Step 5: Click "Post Comment" (or you can click "Preview" first if you want to edit your comment before posting)

That's it! 'Hope to hear from you.
