It’s Swarm Sunday!  Another good week of dragonfly swarms, though things slowed down a bit compared to the last few weeks.  More swarms popped up in southern states this week and there were a few more migratory swarms reported, but the dragonflies still seem to be mostly staying put.  I expect I’ll start to get a lot more migratory swarm reports in the next few weeks as they start to move south for the winter, but I guess I’ll have to wait and see.
