Default OT, Sorta: Dragonfly Nymphs

Thank you K30a - there are some small stones that stick out of the water as
well as a small piece of sinking aquarium driftwood that comes up and out as
well.

I'll make sure they have plenty of options - I'm thinking I'll cut some of
my Iris leaves and give them an avenue right into the flower bed so they're
not too exposed.

I'm going to check them a couple times a day - I wish I had teeny-tiny
little fish to feed 'em :-)

They will change before too long, fly around,
breed and then die before fall. They have just the summer to do all that.

What they need is something to crawl out on.
Usually a reed plant. They hang out, split the skin on their 'neck' area,

and
crawl out a dragonfly.
They will need to hang out a bit to let their wings dry.
Do you have anything that they can use to complete their life cycle in the
little pondlet? You can use
anything artificial, a wooden spoon, a wooden bbq skewer... thinking of

what I
have around the house.

Let us know what happens!
