Dragonfly Swarm
Coming home from work/school/dance tonight, we started seeing what I at first thought were grasshoppers buzzing all over the lawns of houses just before Nick Road on Harpers Ferry Road. We slowed down and identified them as huge dragonflies! They were in everyone's yard through the section; we couldn't see them as clearly after Nick Road for a bit but then as we climbed our lane, they were all over our yard/field. I did a little Googling and found that they do in fact swarm to eat! Let's hope they are gobbling up the stink bugs that have suddenly re-appeared! They can take the mosquitoes too!
