At first I thought that was a picture of a bi-plane . . . then I clicked on the link. I like this . . .

Did you know that Alaska has an official State Insect? No, it's not the mosquito! Or even one of our beautiful butterflies. It's an attractive and beneficial dragonfly, called a Four-spotted Skimmer. That decision was made in 1995, after some strenuous lobbying by students from the elementary school in Aniak. Although it's not one of the biggest or most colorful, it is a common dragonfly, and widespread in the State.

FWIW, dragonflies also make great bait for bass fishing.
