Hi y'all,
It's 97°F to 105°F in Arizona and there is not a dragonfly to be seen After a fruitless search for dragonflies a couple of weeks ago at the lower Salt River, I decided to try my luck on the Verde River near Camp Verde, Arizona, USA. No luck...again All I saw was a couple of these damselflies...
When I was a young child I would see a half a dozen different species of dragonflies flying around our desert washes and rivers. This year...zip.
Enjoy, my friends

Where have all the dragonflies gone??

Something changed in the environement of the area maybe, causing the dragonflies to leave? A nice shot of the damsel Tom. I have yet to go in search of them or dragonflies. It always amazes me how their wings are attached. Again a nice image here Tom, though the eye does looks a little milky.When I was a young child I would see a half a dozen different species of dragonflies flying around our desert washes and rivers.
