Day 157 - Nature Boy

South Berwick, ME

My son started shouting while I was working on my bike. When I checked on him, he was pointing to this dragonfly that landed on the driveway while he was on his scooter. I told him to hold on while I ran inside and grabbed my camera. We were able to get the dragonfly to climb up on his finger and pose, however, it happened pretty fast, this was the best of only two shots I was able to take. Right after I took this shot, the dragonfly took flight and my son tried to track him down with no luck. We really like dragonflies, they are like natural bug spray, their larvae feed on mosquito larvae & the adults eat mosquitoes. Not to mention, they look cool too!
