Dragonflies & mosquitoes
7/28/2010 at 1:18 PM
I'm just sitting here, getting ready to head out to the backyard with my daughter, and I just counted 17 dragonflies flit by my front window.
That got me to thinking - has anyone noticed any mosquitoes lately? I'm trying to remember the last time we had to use any spray to keep the suckers away and I think it was probably a week ago. And these dragonflies are HUGE.
So obviously, the malathion spraying at the end of June didn't kill the dragonflies like some had said they would, but I'm perfectly okay with all these dragonflies taking care of mosquitoes rather than another round of malathion. I'm not anti-spraying, but if nature can take care of itself, why not let it?
