Remember Bubba, the buck tooth Dragonfly?

Here’s his cousin, Wilbur. He’s a little cross-eyed.

This has to be the most hilarious picture I have ever taken of a Dragonfly. Let’s call him Bubba. He appears to have two buck teeth.

Click on the picture for the full sized view and to really see his “teeth.”

Skeletor, Sprite, and Pinky

Let me preface this post by saying I’m a bit tired tonight and my humor (or lack thereof) may be a little off. I also may be seeing things that no sane person would be able to see. If that’s the case, just humor me and pretend that if you tried really hard you too can understand where the names and faces come from on the following pictures:-)

Okay, here we go.

I’m really starting to appreciate the diversity of Dragonflies. I had no idea they came in so many colors, and I had no idea that so many inhabit my backyard.

First there is “Sprite.” Why Sprite? Cause he’s green and yellow of course!

Next up is Skeletor. For those that don’t know, Skeletor was in a cartoon, He-Man I think. This was one of the strangest Dragonflies I’ve ever seen. Is it just me (and am I losing my mind) or does this Dragonfly look like he’s smiling?

Last but not least is Pinky. Hopefully you can see why the nickname applies.

Hang on Pinky!

Basking In The Morning Sun

I just got done watering this morning and saw this fella. Come to think of it, these Dragonflies seem to really like it after I water the garden as I’m guessing it stirs up some bugs for them to eat.
