I got this book as a gift a couple of years ago and really love it. Check it out, if you're a Southern gardener and a fan of dragonflies.

Wow, what detail! He's a colorful bugger :)
He is a beauty!! I bet you could see him from a mile away.
What a wonderful picture! I just love it when photogenic wildlife comes into my garden! I took a pic of a stag beetle a couple of days ago.
Beautiful photo. I love dragonflies and damselflies and darners, especially because my garden is chock full of mosquitoes all summer ...
I have had beautiful red dragonflies show up at my pond a couple of years ago,and have had them ever since.But I had a lesson on what the nymphs look like,never would have figured they could produce something so beautiful.
