The next morning, we found a Praying Mantis - cleaning its antennae. She / he starts at the nearing part to her / his head and gradually builds a loop until the entire antennae is whatever. A friend looked at this and remarked - wow, portable dental floss. What a clever perspective. Of course, he / she is leaning his / her eating apparatus.
Step one, insert the dental floss between a pair of teeth
and slowly draw it though - making first a a small loop
then a larger loop
and then an even larger loop
until the floss passes through. What a novel concept - reusable dental floss.

Then off in search of dragonflies - Here are two mating brownish dragonflys
A red dragonfly from the top
an aqua damselfly (I think)
An a red dragonfly from different perspectives. He / she often returned to the same spot - but usually oriented to make it impossible for a head on shot
