Little creatures ...

This was a summer of dragonflies. Wet weather in the spring brought hoards of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes provided food for dragonflies to flourish.
Alberta: dragonflies hatching by the dozens!
Saskatchewan: walking through the grass brought swarms of dragonflies.
 Swallowtail dining on minuscule bugs.

The leaf gives an idea of the size of the frog.
And ... the frog dines on insects!
