• Oct. 12, 2007 - Dragonfly

Wow, we have had lots of opportunities to study nature this week. We have a long rip in the screen in our west dining room window and a dragonfly flew in there. He couldn't figure out how to get out right away so we got some pictures of him. Well, I was told that bats eat mosquitoes and when we looked up dragonfly, they also eat mosquitoes so by an educated assumption, we have lots of mosquitoes! of course I already knew that since my kids legs and arms look like they have the chickenpox. I also found out that there is a computer language or something that is called dragonfly. I had to search dragonflies in order to find information on the insect. Hmmm. Here are the interesting web sites we found: This one has evolution in it but is very informative. Here is one that has lots of pictures of different varieties of them. I thought they were all green! Praise God, He is more creative than I am. Here are a couple more for good measure. By the way, the poor thing died before we got him out! I felt so bad. He got one of his wings stuck in a spider web and ripped himself loose. I think he died because he couldn't fly anymore. WE got him out and then really had a good look at him. Enjoy, and I have another nature entry to make so stand by for more!
