Re: Dragonfly and Its Nymphal Case
I don't understand the title but the shot looks good. Did that dragonfly came from that insect on the same stick it is on? Just curious.

Yes Izzie, they spend a year or more, depending on species, living underwater in the larval form before a rather brief spell as the eye catching adults.

Thanks for the info. That is interesting indeed -- the beauty after the beastly look.
