I watched a Blue Dasher oviposit eggs in my backyard pond and then collected a few that were partially submerged on a lily pad.

I added photos of the hatched larvae.

I added photos of the new hatchlings.

We sighted this male Ochre-tipped Darner hunting and we kept a very close watch on it. It finally decided to land quite low near us. As we searched for it in the foliage it suddenly shot out from under some fern leaves and landed just to the right of us. The first three images are of it at that position hanging of a leaf. After a while it flew again but not far, it landed only three metres slightly above us to the left and on a clear twig, enabling us to shoot “ a virtual 360 degree tour “ of it, without being disturbed by us in any way whatsoever, shot after shot after shot. One very obliging male !! After having gotten all the images we wanted we left it there in peace and kept saying “Thank you – Thank you - Thank you”, as we walked away in a daze !!
