The first line grabbed me and made me smile and I smiled all the way through until I realized I have seen no dragonflies this year. Perhaps they come in June? July? Now I am questioning my garden, wanting them now.

Absolutely ~ I particularly love damselflies.

You've captured the one insect that's always frightened me... Soup mail, please. :) Gershon

You would have freaked out the day we drove through a bog, I could not figure out what the cloud was and the driver refused to roll up the windows. It was from the famous scene from Shakespeare with the witches... It took me forever to figure out they were actually dragonflies ~ talk about a prehistoric version of Twilight Zone.

I like this, Line - the dragonfly as a warrior on reconnaissance. So innovative. I do love dragonflies.

Thanks, Sam. They truly are drone-like. It's unbelievable how many varieties there are.
