Dragons & Damsels
“The film follows the summer season as it unfolds and more and more dragons and damsels emerge on to the lake. It shows that even insects have distinct characters. We discover jealous rivals, adulterous relationships and gallant lovers – but beneath this miniature soap opera are sophisticated behaviors driven by natural selection. It shows off the colorful world of dragons and damsels in all its glory – a small world but one full of dangers and triumphs. Often the little things have the biggest stories to tell.”
Caring Deeply
“One of the downsides (or is it an upside?) of dragonfly monitoring is you begin to care—deeply—about things you may not have thought about before.” —Cindy Crosby, Chasing Dragonflies
Chasing Dragonflies
Chasing Dragonflies: A Natural, Cultural, and Personal History is an engaging, beautifully illustrated introduction to these remarkable insects. As warm as it is informative, this book will interest gardeners, readers of literary nonfiction, and those intrigued by transformation, whether in nature or our personal lives.
