A Beaver and Other Life Found on the Dragonfly Count:

River edges are good places to look for dragonflies. While scouring the water, we watched a Canadian Beaver swimming. 

The recent heavy rains mean this busy beaver is going to be even busier making repairs to the dam! 

As we walked through the sedges and long grasses, we found many insects including moths and butterflies. Some moths are active during the day, including the Beggar's Moth!

Fly Eggs on a sedge, possibly laid by a Deer Fly or Horse Fly. The case was about 2 cm x 2 cm and is the first time I've seen such a structure.
