dragonflies.

I had trouble believing that larvae of any sort could live more than a few
weeks, so I did a brief google (I mean, I love you guys and all that, but I
could be playing WordRacer, after all!).

Here's a website that might shed some light (or at least, "Lights! Camera!
Action!") on dragonfly mating habits:
http://www2.kenyon.edu/bfec/dragonfly/lifecycle.htm
(think "Kama Sutra" for dragonflies -- or, "Ginger Rogers did everything
Fred Astaire did -- backwards & wearing high heels? Hah! We're going to
switch from the 'tandem position' to the 'wheel position' while we are
flying!")

I must confess to muffin that my two remaining fish are 4-year-old Petsmart
goldfish who probably deserve to go to VT for a commitment ceremony! (Note:
I used to live in VT, a state full of people who have *way* more serious
things to worry about than standing in the way of people who just want a bit
of acknowledgement for their commitment to being responsible citizens with
family values.)

I notice there are several posts on here that people WANT to attract
dragon
flies...... from what I have read,, dragonflies are NOT GOOD. the nymphs
can
live over a year & eat fish!

what am I missing???

muffin who found a dead fish..(probably unearthed by the recent storm)..
one that was missing for a while,,, it looked like part of it was chewed
up..... now"I" am freakin' ...(it's always sumpthin')

One more tidbit about dragonfly mating...
One male can remove the sperm deposit of a previous suitor and toss it aside to
leave his own.

Which says something but I'm not sure what...

Ouch.

I didn't say I wished that. Plus you have to admit, you walked into that
one.

You, my friend, are dangerous close to a red rosie minnow voodoo curse.

I do not know how I could have forgot.......
my 9th grade 'insect' report was ON dragonflies...
I guess that horrible experience of talking in front of that
class,,,,,,,,,about dragon flies & their 'mating habits' etc,, just made me
black that outta my brain.....

muffin who was surprised at the end of the year that 'I' had the highest
score (points etc) for the whole dang 9th grade.........but my hubby who
was also in that class still razzes me about what is the only thing that
expands when heated & freezes..........(ok may not be the only
thing.........)which I argued about.
