How tame are your Dragonflies....pics of one on my son's finger
« on: July 15, 2007, 11:42:26 AM »
This Dragonfly seems to like my kids.  I had to take a pic of it.  It started out, my son was going to put this rod thing up.  It was a yard decoration that feel apart.  When he picked it up a dragonfly landed on the end.  Then it landed on his hand.  Today I was able to get pics of it.

I thought it was pretty cool!

How cool is that :) 

Lately we have had some large ruby red ones by the pond.  But they are too fast and my camera is too slow!

are you sure he hadn't had his hand in the cookie jar earlier?  ;D

That's so neat. I bet he was thrilled to have the dragonfly land on him. Very nice photos.

One landed on DH the other day. I have pics but they aren't uploaded. They like high perches to survey the pond from. Dragonflies are so cool. I don't think the adults eat though, they just mate and die. I think that is what Chet said. Wetbug, he is an aquatic entomologist. A pond bug Dr.

I don't think the adults eat though,
Being retired, I have the advantage of being able to take the time to idly sit around and watch them.  I have seen them leave their perch and snatch a flying bug and then return to the perch to eat it.
