Life on the Pond

Greetings, BugFans,

No words today, but an amazing set of videos. A woman named Linda contacted the BugLady in the summer of 2016 about her Missouri Master Naturalist project, which involved recording life on the surface of a (primordial ooze-ish) pond near her home. She set up her video camera on a rock overlooking the pond and recorded dramas, large and small, in that cradle of life. Check the playlist of thirty-seven videos along the right side.

Linda uses a quote from the great 19th century naturalist Louis Agassiz (not the tennis player) under her signature line: “I spent the summer traveling; I got halfway across my back yard.” Good on you, Linda.

Enjoy—think Sunny days and Warm waters.

No—there’s no such thing as too many dragonflies.
