  • NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. — Any old pond will do. Michael L. May set out one recent Wednesday morning from his cramped office at the Rutgers University entomology building to collect a few dragonflies.

With the traffic on U.S. Route 1 whizzing off in the distance, Dr. May, a bushy-bearded Florida native who just turned 65, grabbed his net and shuffled down the bank until his sneakers sank in the mud.
