cattitude and I were walking home through the park last night, a firefly lit up next to us, about waist-high. A moment later, another, on my other side. I took a moment, chased on, and got it to land on my hand for a moment, though it flew off before lighting again.
This afternoon, I was standing on the lawn across the street (also in the park), watching the swallows swooping after mosquitos, and realized that one of the swooping animals I was watching was a dragonfly. Having identified one, I spotted a couple more: they're a lot smaller and lighter, and move a bit differently, but you notice the kind of thing you're looking for, and I've been watching the swallows for weeks. This is the first dragonfly I've seen in 2006, fittingly just after the solstice.
