This was a round that started off with a non-post and then hit my
personal energy buffers
The correct answer is #1 the Dragonfly -- the word LIBELLA is from the
same source as a word from which we get "level" and was used as the
original name for dragonflies because of their level wings - 2 of you
guessed it so I get a D2
Steve Dixon scored 5 and is our next dealer The real winner s are Paul
Keating, Keith Hale, Dave Cunningham with 4 points
Over to you Steve
