I snapped this dragon fly in the yard the other day. I thought it turned out pretty good......

Nice pic, Niner....we call 'em snake doctors and/or skeeter hawks down here....they eat their weight in skeeters each day.

Snake doctors is what I grew up hearing them called too. And if one lands on your bobber, its good luck and a certainty that you're gonna get a bite.

As a kid, we'd tie a long piece of thread around 'em, and watch 'em fly around like the old model airplanes with strings attached to 'em. ;)

I grew up with dragon flies and mosquito hawks here ... never heard "snake doctor" before.

I used to shoot green china berries at them with a slingshot. Every now and again you'd hit one. They're quicker that they look
