Editor's Note: Hey kids, please don't try this yourself -- collecting specimens for observation is not allowed at Huntley Meadows Park. The damselfly shown in my photo is held by Mr. P.J. Dunn, a professional naturalist with the Resource Management Division, Fairfax County Park Authority. Disclaimer: No damselflies were injured or killed in the making of this photo.
