Questions without Answers

1.  A few of Dr. Haskell's Field Biology students found this Clubtail, which, because one wing has hardened around a leg, will not fly.  My question is not why did the wing not open properly (perhaps wind at the wrong time), but why have I seen only this single Clubtail at Lake Cheston?  

2.  What is that gooey gelid mass in the water which this dragonfly was protecting so assiduously?  I watched females of his ilk dipping right there.  Were they ovipositing?  Is that mass eggs?
 Wondering and reading continue.
