Description


Mainly for Faemike. This is a closer view of an empty skin which once contained a dragonfly in its larval form After a year or two in the pond, predating on other insects and tadpoles, it climbs up a plant stem and makes the final metamorphosis into a beautiful winged insect. See a few more Here

Thank you for the wonderful explanation. Though the second photo looks like something that Shrek would eat as a snack (being in that spoon)

I wouldn't see half the things I see in nature but for your gallery. This is a fascinating image but it must be so confusing for any creature that preys upon dragonflies. "It looked like a full meal but somehow I still feel so empty." I pulled this one out of the memory bank, these are also known as nymphs.
