Damsels & Dragonflies

damsel fly Featured in many of Tiffany's works of glass are beautiful images of Damsel and Dragonflies and their  ancestors have been found in 325 milllion year old fossils. 

Both damsel and dragonflies spend a portion of their early life in water. Both in their immature stage and adults, they are predators, eating other insects!  But while predatory, they are some of the friendliest insects you will ever meet! 

To learn more about these elegant creatures join us for a walk on Saturday July 13 at 2 PM.  The walk will be lead by GLT board member Larry Federman. Location to be decided.
