how to obtain help in the community; and to
promote and integrate various health

It's early P111)01; Yaw, golden light plays
long shadows across the Lakeshore. Skimm-
ing across the ,reed tops comes the winged
formation. Silently, they appear; four -
winged craft adorned with vibrant green
and blues, or with magnificent camoflage
mottling. Off they peel, into a crisscross
dogfight. Low. High. Back and forth they
race, in wild, zig-zag pursuit of dastardly
prey. The dogfight continues from dawn to
dusk, joined by new craft as others, ex-
hausted, pause to rest.
Dragonflies are an aptly named - large -
group of insects. Including their close allies,
they number over 4,800 species - 420 in North
America alone.
The dragonflies now emerging are at the
mid -point of a fascinating life cycle. Over
the next several weeks, we'll see adults
mating - riding piggyback often for a day or
more. Fertilized, the female will begin to
mature a huge number of eggs - over a
period of days to weeks - which then will be
deposited into the perfect habitat. Depen-
ding
epending upon the species' requirements, the
eggs may be laid in marshes, on aquatic
vegetation, or in open water.
If you watch carefully., you'll see the most
common laying flight. The female flies slow-
ly across the open water of a marsh, hover-
ing stationary, and then suddenly dipping to
touch her aladomea a ainst the water. Each
odosgeaUnouS, sticking to
vegetation other debris.
The eggs develop and hatch quickly,
releasing .a tiny, long-legged creature,
whose complete leg -span is barely the size
of a pin. Over the next 1 to 4 years (depen-
ding on species) that nymph will go through
a dozen or more growth -molts before
reaching adulthood.
Dragonflies are fantastically adaped,
predatory bullets. Although they spend most
of their time invisibly marching the bottom
in slow-motion, their stout torpedo -form
enables quick movement whenever
necessary. By expanding and compressing
their abdomens, dragonflies actually breath
water through their anus, in and out of a
complex branched strucure known as an
anal tree. This grill -equipped structure pro-
vides not only oxygen, but also jet propul-
sion. When prey looms ahead (or danger
threatens), the motionless nymph `inhales',
filling the anal tree to the maximum, then
suddenly compresses its abdomen, jet -
propelling itself forward.
As it does, the nymth opens remarkable
trap -jaws. The main jaws swing out
sideways, like a toothed bear -trap. But
there are also parts which open down, which
can slice through the water like steel arms to
lock the prey. Dragonfly nymphs eat
anything which they can catch, including
huge numbers of mosquito larvae.
Feeding voraciously tbroUgh tk a summ .T, .
they giCow steadily, sioi. g down or hi r- .
Ming in bottom mud or beneath reeks in
the winter.
Finally they'reready for emergence. The
stubby nymphs seek out anything that will
emerge above water sterns, docks, or
pieces of wood - and haul out, often at night.
After a short rest, a transformation more
dramatic than frog to prince actually,;,takes.
place, The nymph's back splits to reveal a
whole new animal inside the old skin -shell.
Arching its back through this hole, the adult Aik

-
ing vertically it pumps up 4 beautiful, lage
wings, and drapes them back to dry. Within
hours, it will be on the wing, ready for a
completely different life.
The long legs, totally transformed, will
become a net for catching mosquitos and
other insects on tif'e wing. The hugh eyes,
projecting like aircraft gun turrets on each
side, will provide not only vision in every
direction - at once! -• but also hundreds of
simultaneously analyzed images. Coloura-
tion will attract mates or provide
camoflage, as the species needs. Important
in controlling mosquitos, dragonflies are a
marvel to. behold. Have a new look at a
`friend' long taken for granted; you'll find:a
sense of marvel. .
