     Thanks, Sadje. All I could think of was the Ugly Bug’s Ball, cos while the wings and the colour makes the dragonfly quite the beauty, close up they’ve not got pretty faces!

       Perhaps they are. Now that would make a great story idea!

       During the Jurassic (I think it was) there were dragonflies with wing spans of 6feet! Can you imagine that. Although it’s science fact, it would make fantastic science fiction

       Very true. They haven’t made a movie about that yet.

     I’d say so. This wasn’t the only dragonfly hanging around in the morning sun

       Unfortunately they weren’t hanging close enough together to get a group photo!

       Well, it’s understandable. They might have needed time to recoup after all that partying together!

       That’s something we human party animals can understand (even if I am somewhat rusty)

       Oh yes. I feel completely hung over from last night but it’s not from the booze. It’s from the loudness of the music, the overeating and, I caught a cold and feel awful.
