Last Thursday (2 July) afternoon I spent a couple of hours looking for odes at Campbell Pond. I arrived at about 3 PM. This pond was once the public water supply for the Town of Antrim. It is now set aside as conservation land and has a completely undeveloped shore line. This was my first “odeing” trip to the pond.<\/p>\n
There is no vehicular\u00a0access to the pond but it is a short walk along a well maintained woods\u00a0road into the pond. I saw my first ode, a calico pennant, maybe twenty five feet down the road. I continued to see small numbers (one or two individuals) of a variety of species all along the road.<\/p>\n
When I got to the stream flowing out of the pond things changed. There were dozens of ebony jewelwings of both sexes around the stream where it flows over the road.<\/p>\n
Out over the pond proper there were many odes, probably calico pennants, flying and (I think) ovipositing. \u00a0There were also smaller numbers of chalk-fronted corporals present.<\/p>\n
