Dragonflies - how to attach them
I've just finished setting it up, at least I think I have. It's about 18ft
x 16ft approx triangle and about 34 inches deep. I am thinking about Koi, but for the moment I will stick to goldfish until I have more experience with pond management. Does anybody know how to attract dragonflies to my pond? Could I buy dragonfly eggs or nymphs? TIA ANO

Dragonflies - how to attach them
Mine Just showed up one day. I now have bunches,not sure where they come
from. Maybe from bird feet like all those darn little fish I keep getting that I never put in (and there not koi) so there not babies from my fish. http://community.webtv.net/rebeljoe/POND

Dragonflies - how to attach them
We didn't even have our pond landscaped before we saw two different
dragonflies casing the joint. We were planting it all weekend and watched as the two showed up with their partners and began staking out some space. Very cool. Quite an array of birds to. And I live in the suburbs, surrounded by houses. Patience grasshoppa!
