The first year I taught the insect behavior lab at my school, I planned a dragonfly field trip so we could study territoriality.  We spent part of a morning at one of Tucson’s urban lakes, and at one point all I could see of any of my students was this:

A few seconds later the student nearly flung himself into the lake trying to catch a darner.  Sadly, I didn’t get that on camera…  :)
