Dragon Fly
« on: June 22, 2011, 03:27:20 PM »
Took this while out walking the other day.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

I don't see many red dragonflies very cool. Here are two I seen yesterday.

Technically, those blue ones are damselflies.  If they rest with their wings over their back they are damsels if they rest with them outstretched they are dragons.

"The Damselfly (Suborder Zygoptera) is an insect in the Order Odonata. Damselflies are similar to dragonflies, but the adults can be differentiated by the fact that the wings of most damselflies are held along the body when at rest. Furthermore, the hindwing of the damselfly is essentially similar to the forewing, while the hindwing of the dragonfly broadens near the base, caudal to the connecting point at the body. Damselflies are also usually smaller, weaker fliers than dragonflies, and their eyes are separated."

  Both are nice photos!

Thanks everyone.  That was actually the first one for me.  Took that pic up above the Klickitat River.
