Survivor

I spent 2 weeks next to La Rochelle, on the west coast of France. With lots of swamps around, I was hoping to find lots of dragonflies and damselflies... but I had forgotten about one thing: at the end of last February, a terrible storm named Xynthia covered all the swamps in salt water, killing all the larvae.

 

Xynthia killed 53 people in France, destroyed many houses (including the place where we were first supposed to spend our holidays, that we had rented... the day before the storm).

 

Explored :o)
