16 November 2009

While walking along Murphy Cove Road on the Prospect Peninsula yesterday I encountered two large darner dragonflies having a territorial dispute.   I was unable to observe them at length, or take a photo, but this seems a late date for dragonflies to still be on the wing.   What are the "normal" late dates for dragonflies, and what darner species are seen so late in the autumn?

Cheers,

Blake

Early December on a warm day, without a lot of very cold weather preceding, and they are up and moving here the past few years. I watch for them. They get quite aggressive, don't they?
