Very cool, tarev. I keep trying to photograph some of our dragonflies but haven't quite succeeded yet. Smiling

That little assassin bug nymph is a good one too, very beneficial in the garden.

Thank you Tarev, the milkweed does seem to be a favorite for aphids.

I find dragonflies to be a challenging subject to photograph too, Tee! Just when you have a good view, they take off! nodding

The dragonflies rest nicely here for some reason..maybe just tired..I have more issues with the butterflies..they really flutter fast..unless they get engrossed with a bloom Smiling

I've really enjoyed having fireflies around near the house lately. They might go away if we don't get any more rain or high humidity for a while. Normally, if I see fireflies at all, it's down near the dry creek.

OOOoo, wonderful. I have never seen them here on the island when I think about it.
