Did you know that there are over 5000 varieties of dragonflies around the world?
Of course most of them are, where we aren't, but we can still find a variety of them close to home.
I think the one fact I like the most about dragonflies, is that they like something I don't ~ mosquitoes! So when I see a dragonfly I am glad!
But enjoy them while you can, as a dragonfly spends most of its years in the water in the nymph stage and only a short time in the adult stage. (from several weeks to maybe six months)
