| In July 2004 an expedition was made to a location in New Salem, NY. Pictured below is the Chief Naturalist of the trip who packed only some dried meat, biscut, and three kinds of imported vodka; barely enough to keep body and soul together, let alone advance the cause of science. | |||||||||||||||||||

| Expedition staff work long into the night mounting specimens into position on special "drying boards. " Until they stiffen up and quit stinking all specimens are placed in the attic. Is nidor nocens! | |||||||||||||||||||

| Note the large Swamp Darner Epiaeschna heros, Lower right corner. The size makes it almost unmistakable, but just in case, the blue eyes, prominent green thoracic stripes and brown abdomen ringed in green should remove all doubt. Venustas aspicio! | |||||||||||||||||||
