What attracts dragonflies to your garden? We have a lot of mosquitoes and no open water out so no idea where they are breeding and trying to think of natural way to kill them.

If you have mosquitoes there's water somewhere. They can't breed without it. It doesn't take much -- a puddle is plenty. Clogged gutters, drain pipes, planter saucers, etc. are all common culprits. Could be your neighbors or another nearby house, too.

Dragonflies eat other insects -- especially mosquitoes and flies. So if you have tons of mosquitoes that's a good reason for the dragonflies to be there! (That being said, they're harmless to people and eat pests, so I personally wouldn't view them as a problem in the first place.)

I’ve been unsustainably swamped for months. Partner said they wanted to add an additional, more senior associate to the team on one massive case that went from “stayed” to “on fire” in the span of a month. I said that sounded awesome and the thought of someone else having to take on some responsibilities was such a relief… so why do I feel competitive and threatened now that the senior associate has actually been added? 🙄

Senior attorneys at v100, how common is it for attorneys who start at small firms to lateral to biglaw? Have you worked with any? Conventional wisdom is always that if you don’t start there it’s hard to “trade up”. My coworker and I just did it to two different great v30 firms, and I’m wondering if it’s really that uncommon? Just out of curiosity. We’re not special counsel with special niche skills or anything, just associates. Pitfalls to beware? Positives?

Hello folks, I’m after some advice please. I recently bought a couple of indoor plants and added to the cart what I think is a very expensive bottle of natural mist to use on the leaves. All organic, glass bottle etc. supposed to use it 2-3 times per week but 2 weeks in I’m down to half a bottle and it was £15 (approx $20). I understand that I need to nurture the plants but it strikes me as a rather expensive mist. Is there anything you’d recommend I can use instead? Thanks.
