You are in Canada, correct? Did some of the Dragonfly like things from Stargate escape?????????????????? (Season 2 Ep.10)

Brilliant shots.

Yes definitely in Canada. It was the first day after a couple weeks of yukky smoke and even the bugs were glad to be able to fly again.
Can not really take credit for the shots as they are actually a video I took and then saved a frame - but you probably know that anyway.
Thanks for the comment PhiliusFoggg

I love the last capture...photoshop a bucket from the dragon fly picking up water like a CDF helicopter

I'm in the West Australian Wheatbelt, closest neighbours are probably....2km away. Stuff doesn't tend to make it IN to the house very often, every now and then a wolf Spider covered in babies will creep under the door at night, and if you try and pick it up the 500 widdle spiders scatter to all corners 192.168.100.1 192.168.1.1 of the house. Cue vacuum cleaner

There have been a lot of dragonflies around my place this year. They seem to be braver as well. I was cutting grass, stopped by my willow tree, and there was a dragonfly on a branch 8-10 inches away looking at me, it even let me get close before flying off. A day later, another was on my vertical radio antenna waiting to be repaired, and another one was looking at me. I touched this one before it flew off. Weird.

LOL that a great idea - BC needs all the help we can get to fight the fires.

Yikes Wolf Spiders are creepy ... Dragon Flys could be useful as per Dronerdaves post above

Yes there does seem to be more Dragon Flys around this summer.
I was taking a video of a mountain lake at approx. 100meters (300 feet) and a dragon fly photo bombed the clip - did not wreck the clip just made it more interesting.
