A while back I posted some photos of a blue dasher and complained that you couldn't see its eyes very well. That has changed as Amy managed to snap a pretty good one of this dasher. Dragonflies and damselflies are wonderful creatures can be seen around most neighborhoods, but especially around sources of water.
I don't know how territorial these insects are, but I had to laugh a little the other day when we got two males at the pond at the same time. They took turns shooing each other away. We really need to get some new horsetail plant as our last one didn't survive the winter. These beauties deserve a proper perch down close to the water. It doesn't hurt that it'll make them easier for us to spot as well.
