Aww, **Ogre**. If I had been on that busy street with you, I’d have been compelled to hug you. I love to see people interact with the natural world. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. ---

Ogre, the more I think of this story, the better it gets for me. I mean, you gave the dragonfly a form of New Orleans jazz funeral. How fitting. ---

Heh, the first thing I thought of was how cool of **Ogre** to give the dragonfly a NOLA Jazz Funeral. That’s a great story. I love dragonflies. In the summer they buzz around my pool and sometimes dip down in it for a second or two. Love just floatin’ around and watchin’ 'em do their thing. Plus the eat skeeters. Thanks again **Ogre** for a great story! ---

Beautiful story, thanks for sharing it. And it’s a perfect illustration of why sometimes, in matters that don’t impact upon the grand scheme of things in any significant way, the magic is best left unexplained. ---

Lovely, thanks for sharing. For some wonderful pics of dragonflies I point you in the direction of Digital Dragonfly Museum. Hundreds of fantastic pics ---

I’m glad that someone mentioned this thread, giving me a chance to read it before it disappeared into the oleander. And now it is my turn to bump it for someone else’s appreciation. Great story. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-little-dragonfly-buddy/422321.md?page=1)
