Dragonflies - how to attach them
 
I've just finished setting it up, at least I think I have. It's about 18ft
x 16ft approx triangle and about 34 inches deep.

I am thinking about Koi, but for the moment I will stick to goldfish until
I have more experience with pond management.

Does anybody know how to attract dragonflies to my pond? Could I buy
dragonfly eggs or nymphs?

TIA
ANO

I don't know of a source, but not to worry - if you build it, they will
come.

I think I had mine up about a month when the first dragonfyl showd up,
how it found me is a mystery as there is no other ponds around me for 35
miles, 3 yrs later I have about 6-8 diferent paterned dragonflys
around all summer

Mine Just showed up one day. I now have bunches,not sure where they come
from. Maybe from bird feet like all those darn little fish I keep
getting that I never put in (and there not koi) so there not babies from
my fish.

We didn't even have our pond landscaped before we saw two different
dragonflies casing the joint. We were planting it all weekend and
watched as the two showed up with their partners and began staking out
some space. Very cool. Quite an array of birds to. And I live in
the suburbs, surrounded by houses.

Patience grasshoppa!

I believe it is one of those "build it and they will come" deals. I
have seen many different kinds of dragonflies and damselflies since i
put in the pond. (And it is very small)
