I’ll never look at Dragonflies the same way again

It was a beautiful morning, and I took the opportunity to go kayaking with a friend today. The route took us through some fantastic scenery, past several species of birds that I’ve never seen before…

And, rather unexpectedly, I learned how dragonflies mate. (Hint: they’re talented little critters)

It took me a little bit to realize what the head-to-tail position meant, but I suppose it would offer a few advantages for mates that want to fly together.

But, there you have it: half a dozen pairs of dragonflies had sex on my leg today. Witty remarks fail me.
