Marion Dobbs is a dragonfly enthusiast and a wonderful photographer. She often visits Arrowhead where we have lots of wetland attractive to dragonflies. She has documented many dragonfly species at Arrowhead and shared her findings with us.
Today she made this post to Facebook from a dragon fly trip to my home territory near Conyers.
From Marion Dobbs Facebook:
This past weekend a group of dragonfly nerds gathered in Conyers, GA, for a meeting of the southeastern region of the Dragonfly Society of the Americas, the meeting itself organized and ably run by Fran Stiteler, immediate past abbott of the Monastery of the Holy Spirit. We spent two days at ponds, rivers, streams, swamps, forests, and fields on, or in the vicinity of, the monastery, and a number of folks went down to High Falls State Park. Some of us were digging for nymphs, some looking for exuviae, some in pursuit of photographs or specimens. I've posted photos to the southeastern Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) Facebook group, but I know there are other nature lovers who enjoy seeing what's out there, so I'll put up a few here, too.
