It counts as butterflies. ;-) Only dragonflies count as dragonflies, though damselflies are a close second. > >i'm still trying to have a bird land on either my canoe or kayak while >afloat. i think that baiting them might help. anyone had success at that? Ive had much better luck with dragonflies landing on my kayak, but no birds. I saw a seagull try to drop something on me once though, and a short-eared owl nearly landed on my dog's back once. I will not rest until I find that seagull. ;-) When I used to paddle at _______ in Washington, I would rescue drowning insects and put them on the yak to dry out. Grasshoppers are fun-they will crawl to the bow of the boat and stand sentry at the tip like a watchful hood ornament.
