Dragonflies love the heat so you’ll see lots of them in the middle of summer.
Boyce Thompson Arboretum is a great place to see them so we went this morning.

Just before the Dragonfly walk, we went on an extremely interesting Ant Walk.
Here’s a shot of Harvester Ants (Pogonomyrmex maricopa) doing what they do best.

Both shots were taken with my Canon SX10 IS. (Too hot to carry an SLR and big lens).
