It’s been a strange few weeks around here with the insect observation.  I’ve had a rather intimidating sized spider living above our door, her three foot web strung tightly between the palm and the grapefruit tree. I’ve left her alone because I am weary of the mosquitos.  She could easily straddle a half dollar.

Tonight, we noticed a three-inch-long green dragonfly by the outside lamp.  Dragonflies also eat mosquitos, and their larvae eat mosquito larvae. Crazy, eh? Look at those wings!
