| Blue Dasher Male |
These dragonflies are relatively easy to photograph. They sit for you and will return to the same perch time after time.

| Blue Dasher Female Ovipositing |
Ovipositing means laying eggs. The eggs which are being laid in the above picture will hatch and remain in the pond for more than one year, maybe three or four, as nymphs. They will have no wings, six legs upon which they can walk, and a jet propulsion system giving them rapid movement under water when needed.
The adults, see above, only live for a few days or weeks.
