South Coast Botanic Garden: Dragonflies

Dragonfly nymph's last molt

We spotted the adult dragonfly.

Jinkies!

My son loves my new haircut. He says I look like Velma (from Scooby doo). I'm not so sure I should feel flattered.

The Best Mom

"You're the best mom I ever had."

Our Dinosaur

Well, we grew a Triops. We had more, but well, they turned out to be a lesson in survival of the fittest. Dad and I have enjoyed them most. These guys are voracious eaters! Look up triops in wikipedia for more info. We got ours at a hobby store. You can also find them at Toys 'R Us under the name Aquasaur.

Advertising works

"Mom, did you know that last year millions of people went to Progressive.com? And Elvis was there, too."

Screwed!

"Mom, I'm screwed."
