    Default Unusual find

    I was in my fishroom today cleaning tanks and removing fry when a young blue dragonfly landed on my arm.

    I had brought some plants in from my barrel ponds and guess the larvae was in there and hatched.

    An interesting addition to the livestock<G>.

    I had never seen any around here.
    I took down a pond in the beginning of October and had the plants in various containers around my yard.
    I'm guessing the DF was in one of the plants I brought in.

    One is a water Lilly that was a rhizome and now after 2 weeks has leave on stalks 2 ft long.

    lots of good things come from out tanks!

    this is a casing from a damselfly that hatched in my apartment, and a photo of one of the dragonfly nymphs I took to a local pond. I still have one in with some spare male goodeids... it loves microworms:-) Pretty cool, actualy.
