Is there any way to lure them to alight, like one can
sometimes lure butterflies to alight on a piece of fruit or some sweetened
water?

I've found the best time to photograph dragonflies has been in the early morning before the sun rises enough to warm/wake them up - they're almost immobile at that point. I've also had the best luck, in Michigan to seek them out late August/early September.

WOW!  Great catch, and well rendered.  I love the sharp focus on the
sitting damselflies contrasted with the motion blur of the wings on the
flying one.

I saw a few dragonflies or damselflies in the garden around our pool this
weekend, but they were too flighty, and I could never get close enough even
to attempt a shot.  Is there any way to lure them to alight, like one can
sometimes lure butterflies to alight on a piece of fruit or some sweetened
water?
