On August 26, 2010, I noticed a large dragonfly perched upside down on my porch ceiling. It wasn't moving, wings still...and the next morning, August 27, 2010, when I went outside, it was still there hanging upside down. It's not dead or trapped in any kind of web, the only conclusion is that it is sleeping on my porch ceiling! I took 2 pictures of it...very cool! I'm wondering how long it will stay there for?!

Stinger is a free software tool used to delete some but not all software viruses. It manages a few pretty well.
Answerto answer your question,. a stinger is what is used to heat water. has a heating element at the end of a wire that you can plug into a wall outlet . then it will heat the water. most commenly used in prison by imates to heat ther water so they can cook or make coffee Answer--Stinger is a software utility that can be deployed to scan a computer drive, identify various types of viruses, and remove them from the system. Unlike many antivirus software programs, Stinger does not quietly run in the background and catch infections as they occur. For this reason, it is usually not recommended that this virus removal tool be used in place of antivirus protection; rather, Stinger should be seen as an ancillary tool that helps to keep a system from remaining infected.One of the advantages of Stinger is that the tool takes up very little space on a system hard drive. The removal tool can be placed in any folder on the hard drive. Many people prefer to drop the icon for Stinger directly onto the desktop. This makes it easy to activate and run a scan using the utility.
It is important to note that Stinger is not a fully functional alternative to other types of virus protection software. The utility will only locate and identify any viruses that are part of the most recent configuration. However, Stinger is able to detect and eradicate a number of the more common viruses. Thus, this tool is an excellent backup resource for a good quality antivirus software package.
The process for using Stinger is very simple. The utility is activated for use by clicking on the startup icon. This opens the interface for the tool and allows the user to designate the drives that are to be scanned. The C drive is a default setting that ensures the main drive is always checked. However, it is possible to add other drives to the scan by using the Browse feature and selecting those drives.
As the scan is underway, Stinger identifies any viruses the utility recognizes and removes them from the system. This means there is no additional steps required in order to repair any files that were infected. Stinger will also create a log file of the most recent scan if the end user wishes to create one. This can make it easier to keep track of when specific viruses were found and removed from the system.
From time to time, Stinger may identify a particular virus but be unable to remove it from the drive. This is usually due to the system restore functions on the computer maintaining a lock on the file that is infected. For this reason, it is recommended that computers loaded with specific operating systems, such as Windows Millennium and Windows XP, disable the system restore function prior to running the Stinger utility. Once Stinger has completed the scan and fixed any identified problems, the system restore function can be reactivated.

Do dragonflies live in the forest?
This morning 9-28-08, I was sitting out in the backyard with my coffee just as the sun was starting to lighten the sky and noticed the silhouette of a dragonfly on my yucca tree. I watched him for about 10 minutes wondering if he were sleeping or dead...he wasn't moving at all even though there was a nice breeze. I finally went in for my digital camera and got 3 shots of him before my cat shook the yucca tree chasing a lizard and he flew away. He definitely wasn't dead! From my observations, I believe dragonflies do sleep in trees.
Dragon flies swarm due to abundant supply of food in the area. They also swarm to mate. This is less likely because males are more aggressive around other males during mating.

No, female dragonflies are not fuzzy; they typically have smooth, shiny bodies, similar to their male counterparts. Their coloration can vary widely depending on the species, but they generally lack the fuzzy or hairy appearance seen in some other insects. The smooth surface helps with aerodynamics during flight. Overall, dragonflies are characterized by their sleek and streamlined bodies.
