On June 19, 2011, we all went fishing at the Otter Lake dam, which is where the lake drains into the Sturgeon River. On [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I originally thought these were pictures of the same dragonfly as was in Wednesday&#8217;s post, but looking more carefully, I realized that (1) they were taken the next day, on July 19, 2010; and (2) this dragonfly had pronounced blue spots running down the abdomen. So, I don&#8217;t remember taking these pictures either, but it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So. While I was preparing Saturday&#8217;s photos of a green-striped dragonfly, I stumbled across these pictures, which I had taken a bit over a year earlier (July 18, 2010), and which I had completely forgotten about [1] It was very similar to the one I posted Saturday, with the same body shape, the same pale [...]]]></description>

The end of August is getting to be late in the season for dragonflies around here, and I thought it was dying. When I picked it up and brought it home, it only moved feebly, [...]]]></description>

There were a number of them hanging out on the west (sunny) side of our barn in the afternoon, and it was pretty easy to sneak up on them with an insect net and just clap it over them as they sat there. At first I thought that [...]]]></description>

It wasn&#8217;t dead, but it was obviously dying of unspecified causes[1], as it let me pick it up with no more response than a slow motion of the legs [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We caught this medium-sized orange dragonfly with an insect net in the unmowed part of the yard last summer. I put it into one of our collapsable insect cages for photographing, and it was mostly fairly willing to stay still and be photographed once it figured out that it couldn&#8217;t just fly off. It tended [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, somehow we&#8217;ve gone for two years without a single representative of the Odonata order (dragonflies and damselflies)[1]. Well, that&#8217;s not too surprising, they are pretty darned hard to catch with bare hands. But that&#8217;s all over now, having the nets has changed everything. We caught this one down at Chassell Beach[2] on June 20 [...]]]></description>
