Hi Debbie,
I think the dragonflies around my pond are one of my favorite things about the pond. That’s why I chose the name Dragonfly Aquatics. And like you said, they do eat the insects. Thanks for sharing.

Last year, I had so many dragonflies! It was amazing and so beautiful. My pond has been around for 5 years, but last year there was an explosion of baby dragonflies. It was great because it deceased the number of mosquitoes! As the summer went on many of the dragonflies stayed near the pond and I hope I will have more this year.

There is the sensitive plant that floats on top the water that sounds like what your describing. There are two different ones, one regular size and one large. They are shown on our site, http://www.dragonflyaquatics.com under the category of Floating Plants. It will get tiny yellow flowers on it. The fern-like leaves close when touched or distrubed and then reopens. Barb
Sensitive Plant on site.
