Creatures from the Missouri Botanical Gardens [OC]

These critters were all spotted at the Missouri Botanical Gardens in Downtown St. Louis, MO. Beautiful place to visit if you're in town!

*All shot with a Pentax K100d and Sony a65

First came the Dragonflies:

And then I traveled through the lush green leaves of the Oriental garden

and came upon a curious frog sitting on a rock below an ornate wooden bridge

I followed his gaze, and it appeared he was checking on the local chicks

I then took a trip into the tropical environment Dome and ran into some busy ants, crawling over a uniquely elegant flower

After a long day, I was ready to head out, when all of a sudden someone finally showed up....

and finally I got one last shot as I was passing by some grass in the parking lot on my way out, an elderbug!

Thanks for reading! my paws are getting tired from all this typing
