James Walker, called the Dragon- fly Whisperer by his friends will be at the Adopt A Stream Foundations Northwest Stream Center in Snohomish Countys McCollum Park, 600 128th St. on Thursday, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. Dragonflies are fascinating creatures with a rich heritage of folklore and fables that vary greatly from culture to culture. European cultures tend to see them as dangerous and even deadly. Asian and Native American cultures see them as signs of good luck, longevity and pros- perity. The facts about dragonflies are even more interesting than the fables: They have six legs, but dont walk. They have acute vision but cant hear. They predate dinosaurs, but are going strong today. They can spin at 1,000 rpm in mid- flight, the fastest spin in nature. Scientist-author Jim Walker gives a lively presentation exploring the world of dragonflies. Included are
Dragonfly Whisperer
slow-motion videos of a behavior he discovered called the splash-dunk/ spin-dry. In this behavior, a dragonfly plows into the water one or more times to bathe (splash-dunk), and then spins at 1,000 rpm to dry off (spin-dry). A slow motion video of dragonfly un- derwater during their larval or juvenile phase that last several months. Dragonfly larvae can eat up to 300 mosquito larvae a day, tadpoles and small fish. The jaws and eating habits of the alien character of the movie Alien is based on baby drag- onfly. In this stage of their lives, dragon fly are not only vicious, but they are also jet-propelled. A sight to be seen. Walker will be showing amazing images of this striking underwater and aerial predator. He will also share tips on how to coax a dragonfly to perch on your finger and how to see the de- lightful happy-face dragonfly. He will remain for a book signing. Walker earned his Ph.D in theoreti- cal physics at the University of Wash- ington. He was a professor of physics at Washington State and at the time of his retirement, was the Boeing Dis- tinguished Professor of Science and Mathematics Education. Walker is the author of several university-level text- books as well as the recently published Dragonflies and Damselflies of the Pa- cific Coast. He was recently featured on an episode of Evening Magazine on King 5-TV. He spends his spare time birding and dragonflying in Western Washington and Arizona.
