Wasn't sure if I could ask about damselflies in this forum. If not, please direct me to a more appropriate forum.
I've noticed a large damselfly population in my NW IN garden in the past week - more than I've ever seen before. The dragonflies are just starting to show up so it's hard to say what their population will be. Anyway, what would cause these large numbers? I do live near a wooded wetlands (beyond my backyard) but have for 25 years. Is this a strictly an environmental thing? Not gardening any differently - no pesticides, no herbicides except for DH's spot treatment of dandelions but have been mulching with leaves for the past year.
