Dragonflies have been alive since the Carboniferous period--when they first appeared in Scotland marshes. Now they are everywhere and ready to be netted up and observed, although now a fraction of the size of what they were. These impressive predators are nothing short of amazing. Come join Connecticut Conservation Ambassador Michael Grady as we soar into the world of dragonflies.
