Yesterday, Joan and I spent an enjoyable day at the Vermont Center for Ecostudies in White River Junction, Vermont. We attended, with about three dozen other folks, a workshop about the Migratory Dragonfly Project presented by Celeste M. of the Xerces Society,
Most of the day was spent inside learning about migratory dragonflies and how to be part of this citizen science project. The presentations were informative and lively.
After the presentations we explored two ponds in the VCE’s immediate neighborhood. Fortunately the weather, which started cool and rainy in the morning, had improved significantly and there were significant odes to be captured and studied… or… in my case, photographed.
Here are the results:

I’m sure you could have educated the guest speaker about their habits as well. i hope she took some of your incredible images for her future presentation!
As always, you have managed to capture impressive details in these insects. I tried to shoot some wasps coming out of their hive with absolutely no luck. So continue to amaze us.

Great colors Frank. Good look at some of the ID markers as well.
