Small ponds dot a large area here in southern MA and dragonflies are everywhere. It's fun to watch them as they are either industrious or resting in the sun. Either way they're beautiful.

There are something like 400 different kinds of dragonflies with different colors. Their prehistoric size was a wingspan of 12 inches.

That would be fantastic to see! They are such an endearing insect to me. Last year when I was out West I saw a lot of them, they are an unusual species called Basket tail Dragonfly. I saw six of them at one time in my brother's back yard.
