This handy book has been a tremendous help in my journey to learn more about the insects who keep me company throughout the garden, my magical partners, the Dragonflies (really, they are immediately cool with a name like that). Long-term inhabitants of this planet (250 million years), they mesmerize and dazzle with their aerodynamics, reminding me of helicopters. Or fairies. Long have I been firm in my belief that these insects, these elfin wing-whirrers, belong to the little people who surely live around my pond. Given their tightly maintained airspace, I know that there must some little flight tower in my bushes, where Brownies with headgear keep the Dragonflies out of the flight paths of the maniacal hummingbirds and airhead butterflies. Of course they do.
