All too often this year I find my field/fishing trips sidelined by Dragonflies and Damselflies... when I see them I can't help but wonder why this damselfly is blue but that one green... why is that Dragonfly red, this one blue and green but this one golden, why does this one always seem to be in flight but that one hunting from a perch... they're all out there, same habitat, same time of year, all hunting the same prey items... so what end is served by evolving into a different species or ssp's?

Too much time on my hands I think.
