Hunting Dragons at Sundew Pond
Yesterday was spent exploring acidic fens and bogs near the eastern edge of Patuxent Research Refuge (Central Tract) for Elfin Skimmers. Sam Droege (of bee fame) was with me. No Elfin Skimmers were found, but 21 species of dragonflies and damselflies were located, including an early emergence record (Refuge) for the Attenuated Bluet damselfly.
