Dragonflies

A normal Minnesota summer can be filled with the sounds of buzzing mosquitoes, these annoying bugs that can ruin the fun of being outdoors.  The sight of dragonflies swooping through the air is a welcome one because they eat our pesky mosquitoes.  We will talk about how these insects have been around a long, long, long time and the typical dragonfly lifecycle.  To find some of the dragonflies living in the park there will be a hike around the wetland to see if we can capture some with the use of nets.  Meet at the playground at the Day Use Area near the swimming pond.
