Red Skimmer Dragonflies Mating: I happened to be photographing some flowers when I saw these dragonflies mating on one of the leaves of our Arctic Hibiscus bush. Being in the throes of passion, they tolerated the camera getting quite close to them. I saw lots of female dragonflies laying their eggs on the surface of Caesar Pond yesterday afternoon. The more dragonflies the better as they feed on mosquitoes! (Click on the photo for a larger view.)
