Ooo, nice Chaser-type ode!
Didn't know they came in silver.

I placed the dragon first with hope you'd see it. Good eye, it's indeed a Libellula, forensis to be exact, an eight-spotted skimmer. I don't seem to have anyone interested in sea anemones (the dark red and grey stripes are so unusual), fighting Olympic marmots, western tent caterpillars, or long-toed salamanders.

The other creatures are great too. It was just that if I didn't comment on the ode, I'd probably be drummed out of the British Dragonfly Society. Olympic marmots? Any particular event?
