Owl pellets are fascinating to dissect. Your grands will love it! When my daughter was younger I’d collect the pellets to do a little search and discovery session in her (and other) science classes in elementary school. Each student got a face mask, small magnifying glass and toothpicks or wooden swizzle sticks to separate the pellets and discover the little bones as well as insects and other oddities. They’d try to assemble the bones and identify the parts. 😊 We also raised monarchs for years which was so cool! Nature is truly amazing.
Today we’re in another flurry of dragonflies hatching. My daughter had about 20 on her back and arms. There are literally thousands in the air, hanging on the trees and grass...all sparkling in the sun! Simple pleasures.

Hello, Lori. I'm re-reading your posts to try to find out what's happening with Sue. While re-reading your amazing dragonfly posts, I have to mention to you how marvelous that must be.....I can't imagine having thousands of dragonflies around, nor having them cover my arms and back. Amazing. You must be a major dragonfly hatching ground. What a time you have in your area and oh, so special.

I can't believe disecting owl pooh! Bet that was fun with the grands. You do make the most of each and every day. I love it!

Be well. Enjoy your family and dragonflies, with blessings. elizabeth
