Taking a Break

i just had to post this close up of a Dragonfly from summer, which now seems some time ago. What a wonderful flying machine this insect is!

According Wikipedia: "A dragonfly is an insect belonging to the order Odonata, infraorder Anisoptera. Adult dragonflies are characterized by large, multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong, transparent wings, sometimes with coloured patches, and an elongated body."

Lifespan: 6 months (Talk about a short lifespan!)
Size: Average size of a dragonfly is from 1 to 4 inches in length.
(Ever wonder how they fly in a strong wind, or rain?)


other sizes: small medium large original auto
