It is hard to believe that it has been more than a week since my last ode post… where does the time go?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A week ago, the predominate ode in our yard was the Hudsonian Whiteface. There were also small numbers of chalk-fronted corporals present. This afternoon, with the temperature about 70 deg. F, the skies mostly sunny and a bit of a breeze blowing, the most common odes in the yard were the chalk-fronted corporals (there were dozens, of both sexes), next most common were frosted whitefaces (again, dozens, of both sexes, were present). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hudsonian whitefaces were essentially absent. I saw one or two. Presumably they have headed back to water where they will mate and lay eggs. I’ll have to find the time to go look!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, there a single individual of another species present (see the third photograph, below). I know that I have seen this species before, but even with a quick look through the book, I could not identify it… I’m rusty, I guess!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have yet to see a damselfly this season. Although Joan says that she has see a few while she has been working in the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n
