    Just beautiful Alan. Lovely sharp and colourful photos. Although, I would have loved for you to name them.

    The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question, but to post the wrong answer.

    Great haul I don't know why but when I saw #1 I immediately thought of the Hymelich Maneuver
    Better a full bottle in front of me
    than a full frontal lobotomy.

      They are quite pretty. I was surprised at how many there were in the long grass at this small suburban park.

      Yes, I find when they are not ovipositing in water, they tend to live in nearby long grass.....
