How beautiful
now how could you be jealous of my Phantom Darner when you have such great pictures? I would love to be able to hold one. This one is great as well as the rest of your photos.

Thank you
I am jealous of every pic of something I haven't seen, especially odes, and especially ones with limited distribution like Phantom Darner. It's constructive jealousy, though, because it drives me to plan trips like the one that resulted in this picture. You should head up to Lake Talquin in the spring. It is crawling with Petaltails (we had at least 5 within about an hour's visit).
