Thanks so much. They were making it easy for me by not flying off.
Originally posted by reh321 How do you see these subjects? How do you look for them? Three weeks ago I spent a weekend at a park that is 50% wetlands {and all small insects like mosquitoes, gnats}, and I never did see a dragonfly.
I think because my area is very dry in the summer, there are not a lot of good wetland areas so it concentrates them. My wife and I walk on a path through this area frequently and I noticed that there are a lot of them this time of year. The wetland is a tiny creek with a lot of overhanging grasses. They fly over the water, I assume catching tiny flying insects, but they need to land frequently, so I found a couple of good spots to hang around on the bank and wait for them to land.
