Well, looky here! Now I have my own red dragonfly! Actually, I was thinking about removing that pole...couldn't even remember what it had been there for. But now, the dragonfly has been using it for a while, so I'll leave it alone.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White

Just waiting around for prey, huh? The insects below have been having quite a population explosion. They're flying around looking for what they want and there are plenty for them to find on the property, thanks to the deer coming around lately.
Obviously, Dung Beetles.

Name: tarev San Joaquin County, CA (Zone 9b) Give PEACE a chance!
The pair of mantids has moved up a bit, this time a better top view: the way the bigger one is gripping on the yucca leaf sure is making the leaf ooze.
OMG, tarev! It looks like the smaller mantid lost its head! I've always heard that the female kills the male after mating. Maybe that's what is going on there!
