"There is no quiet place in the white man's cities. No place to hear the unfurling of leaves in spring, or the rustle of an insect's wings. But perhaps it is because I am a savage and do not understand. The clatter only seems to insult the ears." Chief Seattle 

 

 

 

Pachydiplax longipennis (Family: Libellulidae; common name: Blue dasher)
 
They hatch once a day in the pond in front of the house. This hatch happened in the morning. I also get huge hatches in the evening.
