The OOS conference went well. It is always good to spend a day with people that are so well versed in their subject. Among other topics, there was a discussion of last years field trip to the Kokosing river. 21 people attended. As it turns out, several attendees were more interested in spiders than dragonflies. One member even seemed amused by the fact that these acarologists spend so much of their time on their hands and knees hunting for tiny creatures in the sand and gravel banks of the river. Imagine how useful it is to have a group even geekier than the odonatists!
