Hey Jersey, that "Dragonfly" is a female Eastern Pondhawk of the Species Erythemis simplicicollis.

As for the grasshopper....ughh....I dislike them and even photos of them make me squirm....I nearly threw my lap top when I scrolled down to him.

:p Them's big words....."dragon fly" works for me hehe.

oh....Tibbs....have I gotta story for you.....

Father in law shot a wild turkey....bow huntin. He bbq'd it. was really good.......till I ran across the grass hopper leg. Only problem was....I didn't know it was there until it was hung....wayyyyyy back there on the backa my tongue!!!! Couldn't get it up...couldn't git it down....had to fish that thing outta there. Right there at the table. (This was before we were married. Like one of the first times I was at their house to eat) I thought his mom was gonna have a conniption fit.....she was so embarrassed. I wasn't embarrassed...just wanted to eat LOL Laid the lil grass hopper leg over on the edge of my plate and continued on.
Apparently he'd shot the turkey thru the "craw" (sp) and it had driven the leg off into the breast meat that ended up on my plate.
Them lil wicker things on their legs.....oh man...like velcro or.....somethin.

HAHAHA...Yeah they are kinda like a porcupine quill and barbed. I can imagine the face of future Mrs. Mother-in-Law Lilly after you pryed and hacked up a grasshopper leg at the table...haha! Good Story Jersey!

And here I thought Skeeter Hawks and Gally Nappers were the same thing. The bugs that look like a big mosquito....come inside at night....and dip and dive around light fixtures.

Nah...that dragon fly is a real "skeeter hawk"....They thrive on skeeters. I don't know what those other things are but we have'em too. Maybe a gally napper?? (I'll have to remember that) Sounds a bit like he "Gollywobbles" when you've had a bit too much to drink. :wink:

Up here we have mosquito hawks... with feathers, a beaks, the whole nine yards. You can hear them in the evening diving through the clouds of skeeters, it's a unique sound.
That thing may be a pond hawk, it does look a little different from our dragon fly's.
