Thank you, Bernd. I just want to be sure there is no misunderstanding. Nettles? Those are stinging nettles (brandnetel in Dutch)? I don’t have them in my lovely garden! Hahaha! But I can get them from the nearby wood. Do you mean that dragonflies will not lay eggs in water that has nettles in it?
I put the nettles into a container and weigh them down with a rock? Then I make sure that no rain can wash the larvae away.
I will need to be very vigilant, as I don’t want mosquitoes! I have read that black mosquitoes can carry dangerous human diseases.
