we have very few dragon flies in michigan for this time of year. I just found a perfectly preserved dead dragon fly in my car the other day. (forgot to close the moon-roof).

I live in Southern California (Irvine, to be exact), and I see them all the time! :)

They are some of the oldest insects around, meaning they have changed very little over the millenia....

When i worked on a river boat a few summers ago i would see them early in the morning. Towards the end of the summer they started to mate. It was the most wonderful thing i had ever seen in nature. The two dragonflies made a perfect heart when they came together!

Used to be scared of 'em, but, learned they were harmless (well, I've never been bitten by one). Also was nice when I learned that they eat mosquitos. Every once in a while I used to see one pearched on the top of my antennae of my Camaro. Something about that ball shape metal part at the top they liked... maybe it's a dragonfly sex toy? :p
