The topic of the talk will be Happy-face Dragonflies and their Spin-Dry Behavior. Many slow-motion videos will be presented depicting various aspects of dragonfly behavior, including egg laying, predation, and of course, splash-dunking and spin-drying. In addition, lots of dragonfly pictures will be shown, including ones of dragonflies from Arizona and Virginia.
