Still at Spring Grove Ponds and this time chasing a damselfly , it seemed to flit between this leaf a small log floating in the water .
Damselflies are flying insects of the suborder Zygoptera in the order Odonata. They are similar to dragonflies (which constitute the other odonatan suborder, Epiprocta) but are usually smaller and have slimmer bodies. Most species fold the wings along the body when at rest, unlike dragonflies which hold the wings flat and away from the body. Damselflies have existed since the Late Jurassic, and are found on every continent except Antarctica.
All damselflies are predatory insects: both nymphs and adults actively hunt and eat other insects. The nymphs are aquatic, with different species living in a variety of freshwater habitats including acidic bogs, ponds, lakes and rivers. The nymphs moult repeatedly, at the last moult climbing out of the water to undergo metamorphosis. The skin splits down the back, they emerge and inflate their wings and abdomen to gain their adult form. Their presence on a body of water indicates that it is relatively unpolluted, but their dependence on freshwater makes them vulnerable to damage to their wetland habitats.
for Macro Monday - “Stone Rhyming Zone"
The wind has BLOWN and the leaf has FLOWN from its tree. It is now PRONE on the STONE road, where it was THROWN by the Autumn breeze. It is all ALONE.....
MY original image was more than 3" including the negative space, so I cropped it - I don't like the result as much as the original, so I included that as well...
This Belted Whiteface dragonfly rests on a leaf next to the shore of Goose Lake.
Taken 3 June 2022 at Goose Lake, Anchorage, Alaska.
I was sitting on the bench next to my pond and this leaf fell down into the water. It was a moment....Like something profound had just happened but I didn't understand what it was....😉
