Don't see many in Oregon ~ when I was kid is So-Cal, they were everywhere.

They seem to be fairly rich in the West. When I was in MO last Summer, I saw lots of them. We have them here in NY as well. Have to be near water, or a swamp!

I would think you would have them in OR, it rains all the time there and lots of mosquitoes. They eat them like crazy.

Dragonflies are good insects.
