Yesterday morning I was divebombed by the biggest dragonfly I've ever
seen: The body was longer than my hand and bottle-green, and the
wingspan was a good 12". I've had thumb-sized red dragonflies around
the yard all summer but this monster was something else altogether.
Any idea where such a huge dragonfly may have come from? I'm a good 6
miles north of the river, though there are a couple of borrow ponds
(under 183/Mopac) not terribly far away.
