Field Notes

Description:

I seen this dragonfly when I was stepping out my front door to go and take some pictures. It is believed by the Native Americans that a persons soul rides on dragonflies on their way to the afterlife. Seeing a dragonfly can be like seeing a visiting soul.

Habitat:

They really enjoy being around water, especially ponds.
