I love ALL of nature. But I think it's HUGELY cool that our "urban" yard–which is planted with a diversity of native species–has SO FAR attracted 15 different species of dragonflies and damselflies. We're not even close to water! Unless you count our
little stock tank pond, and I rarely, if ever, see dragonflies or
damselflies near it.
Today I stalked an eastern pondhawk (Erythemis simplicicollis) and finally got some decent photos. A new species for our yard. I was THRILLED!
Kudos to iNaturalist for such a great and easy way to compile species lists.
