I've not heard of it, but I guess it's possible. <br /><br />2. Mating - not unless they've just finished. Dragonflies mate one on top of the other, with the tips of their abdomena grasping each other at the tips to make a loop. It also appears to have only four wings, whereas a mating pair should appear to have eight at some stage. <br /><br />3. Image manipulation: there are few frames that are actually clear enough to see what it is! Coindidence? I think not! (Definitely a conspiracy.)<br /><br />4. The first ever photographic evidence of a real fairy ... <br /><br />Funny how nobody who sees anything really unusual is a half-decent photographer! We should teach basic photography to everyone at school, so that when something odd happens, we get evidence that can be analysed ...<br /><br />(I used to be an entomologist once ...)Paul Symsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905686568472747305.post-12504761894542630882010-02-24T21:55:00.736+00:002010-02-24T21:55:00.736+00:00Hi - just to clarify I didn't film it.

In Central Ontario, we still have a foot and a half of snow, we're 2-3 weeks away from maple syrup season.<br /><br />I agree with Fergus, it might be mating dragonflies. We have many types on our property, ranging in size from 3/4" to as big as 4", in colour from leaf green, dark red to brilliant royal blue. They eat those pesky biting insects so we consider them our friends.riotthillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10100678054621200197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905686568472747305.post-43289510045302530672010-02-24T20:57:28.162+00:002010-02-24T20:57:28.162+00:00If it's not a fake (I think it is), I reckon t...If it's not a fake (I think it is), I reckon two mating dragonflies.Fergus Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10196026854090418432noreply@blogger.com
