JULY 17 MEETING: DRAGONFLIES OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA. Mark your calendars! Long-time regional naturalists Kevin Monroe and Tony Robison of the Audubon Society of Northern Virginia have been working several years to document which dragonfly species occur in our region. Their cumulative work of capturing, photographing and releasing dragonflies has resulted in encounters with species not seen for over 50 years, the discovery of species never before documented here, and wonderful photographs of all of them. Come enjoy a slide show of the species found to date and a discussion of their natural history, the environments in which they live, and methods for conserving and attracting these fascinating and beneficial insects. The meeting will be held on Monday, July 17 at 7:30 pm at Bethel Lutheran Church at 8712 Plantation Lane in Manassas (about one and a half blocks on the opposite side from the Prince William Hospital.) As always, PWWS programs are free and open to the public. PWWS is a chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society.
