Definitely agree about feeling envious.  I have a friend who teaches at a university in NE Arkansas who does thermoregulation research on green snakes (Opheodrys aestivus).  His study population lives in the foliage bordering swampy lakes in his area and catch dragonflies and damselflies on the wing (and from vegetation and branches).

Therefore he works from his bass-boat, and switches to his rod-and-reel to catch large mouth bass once he finishes his daily field studies.  I admit I'm so jealous I'm tempted to kick him in his knee when I see him, but since he's my friend I don't.
