Dear Mom, what does it look like in Heaven? I envision a double rainbow with metallic dragonflies flying around a wishing well. A river close by & a cedar canoe with the face of a NW Coast Salish Wolf. Our loved ones in Heaven wear cedar hats, wool woven dresses & vests & Jesus is close by. #wonder

A few weeks ago I would have photographed dozens of dragonflies. Now, I have to work just to get 4 of them. #bugs #dragonflies

Still kinda internally debating if I should have an account that's totally "sfw" and without irl belly-posting or not so that there's a space for my friends who don't want to see that

But anyway here's some dragonflies mating I just saw

“Frogs, bats, spiders, and dragonflies are more than just creatures we happen to find around our homes and fields. They are part of the natural system that helps keep insect populations in check. A frog can consume large numbers of insects, bats feed on flying insects, and spiders capture countless prey in their webs. Even dragonflies contribute at an earlier stage of their lives: their aquatic nymphs eat mosquito larvae and other small aquatic organisms. None of this means nature’s predators can eliminate every pest, or that agriculture can simply stop using pesticides. Ecosystems are far more complicated than that. But it does show why indiscriminate chemical use can have consequences beyond the insects we are trying to control. When pesticides affect beneficial predators and pollinators along with pests, we can end up weakening some of the very organisms that help ecosystems function. That’s why protecting habitat matters. Healthy wetlands give amphibians and dragonflies places to reproduce. Native plants provide food and shelter for insects, birds, and other wildlife. Reducing unnecessary chemical use gives beneficial species a better chance to survive and continue doing what they have evolved to do. Nature already has its own pest-control network. Sometimes the best thing we can do is protect the habitat that allows that network to keep working.” https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1JioWu6hZt/?mibextid=wwXIfr

The person who named dragonflies had most probably never seen dragons.

Wait.

🌿 Dragonflies on the Bog

These photos, sent by our partners Glen Coe National Nature Reserve, show the difference habitat restoration can make: an unimproved bog pool drying out alongside a restored pool, full of water with records of Azure Hawker, Northern Emerald and White-faced Darter! 🐉

Peregrine was a long overdue first for me at the York Community Woodland, with buzzard, kestral and red kite. Plenty of mippets and stonechat still. Green sand fly over.
Dragonflies still going for it!

A male #AutumnMeadowhawk dragonfly glowing in the bright sunlight along a trail at Great Meadows NWR (Concord, MA - 9/14/26) 🤩❤️👀

A male Autumn Meadowhawk dragonfly with dark red eyes, a bright red body with black on the end, yellow legs, and four translucent wings with a reddish bar at the top. The sunlight created white spots on the eyes. The dragonfly was on a bright green leaf, with other green leaves, brown stems, and some brown leaves in the background. Seen at Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Conord, Massachusetts.

I marvelled at some native bees buzzing around a Japanese maple earlier this morning. Black and greenish, hovering like stubby little dragonflies.
