eeek!
there was a plethora of dragonflies hanging aroudn my pond yesterday &
today.. the 1st time in 'ever' seeing them here.

ok, how do I get rid of them & should I be reallly scared???

(I have read about the larva/nymphs eating goldfish,, although I cannot
see how something THAT small could do that!)


Please, please, please, DON'T. Dragonflies are lovely creatures. It's
true, the Hellgrammites (dragonfly larvae) are pretty deadly, but they're
not usually a problem for adult fish, and the adults are even better for
mosquito control than bats.
