While visiting the Tenderfoot Reserve, a Nature Conservancy
property with the Center for Conservation Leadership students, we came across a
mass hatching of adult dragonflies. We
paddled three miles across Palmer Lake, up the Ontonagon River, and across
Tenderfoot Lake to reach the property.
On the grasses of the shoreline we found many exoskeletons of dragonfly
nymphs and the newly emerge dragonflies nearby.
This fella was on a spruce tree at the beginning of our trail hike. He emerged not a moment too soon, as
thousands of mosquitos swarmed the group!
