The weekend we were in Cayman Brac I notice them there as well, I wonder what is it that brings them out this time of year, maybe it's their matting season?
But then, where do they disappear to afterward? To me, Dragon Flies are very mystical insects, unlike any other around.When I was a little girl I always loved to catch them but they I would always release them again without harming them. In Costa Rica most Dragon flies are very small and have different colors; green, brown, blue and yellow.
In Spanish we call them "Libelulas" and my favorites to catch were the blue ones!
I love them, they are very magical creatures. Do you have them where you live? I wonder how many different species there are and what do they eat, pollen from flowers like the bees? If you know more about them, I would love more info.
Have a wonderful week!

I love dragonflies! We have a lot of different kinds here in West Virgiinia. Most of them are LARGE. But we do have some colored ones we call Damselflies. The cute little story book illustration of dragonflies looks so familiar to me too. Must of had one when the kids were small or for the grandgirls....debbie
I've noticed them more abundant this year than any other as well. I simply adore them and think that are truly beautiful to watch fly and land. I know they love to be near water.

Hi Sunshine
When I get a moment I will write a post for you about dragonflies. I was utterly fascinated by them as a child (still am).
Is that blue dragonfly one of your own images?... it's really beautiful.
And libelulas - what a wonderful word.
Dragon Flies are cool!
Hola Tica! My mom has a facination with dragon flies, she collects lots of jewelry. I don't think there are any of those flying around in NY, but I am also curious to find out what they do in the animal kingdom.
