In the Land of Monet – “We’re Caught In A Trap”

During my visit to the Alderfer-Oenslager Wildlife Sanctuary, there was Mr. Elvis Dragonfly zoom zooming all over the place. I tried to get a picture of him but was unsuccessful until he zoomed in the wrong direction and landed in Spidey’s web. Never you fear my children, just as I was about to try and free him, he wiggled and squirmed himself free and zippidy zoomed along his merry way.

Mr. Rimskay-Korsakov’s Cousin?

I am not sure who or what this flying creature is but I stayed far, far away. He/she was also enjoying the nectar from the purple flowers at Alderfer-Oenslager Wildlife Sanctuary.

Yellow waterlilies do live at the Alderfer-Oenslager Wildlife Sanctuary, they were not in bloom when I was there two weeks ago.
