Some fun facts on dragonfly that might surprise you
Dragonflies spent most of their lives underwater.
Adult dragonflies only live up to 6 months, they end up spending more time of their lives in water than the air.
Dragonflies lay their eggs in water. Upon hatching, the larva will remain aquatic for 2 to 5 years depending on the species.
During this stage, they would breathe using their gills.
Dragonfly nymphs eat any underwater creature smaller than them.
Some bigger species of dragonfly can even hunt and eat small fish as larvae.
After the larva stage, they would crawl out of the water with the dragonfly’s exoskeleton cracking open to release its abdomen.
During this period, its four wings will start to emerge, drying and solidifying within the next several days.
The wings of the dragonfly provide superior stability with high load-bearing capacity as it flies, glides, and hovers.
Their wings are made of membranes and veins with a complex design that provides excellent versatility, agility as well as performing maneuverable fliers.
Just a single dragonfly can eat up to 100 mosquitoes per day.
Having two or more dragonflies in the garden or near the house would certainly slow down the mosquito’s population.
Adult dragonflies only eat when they are flying.
Hence if they are injured and cannot fly, they will starve to death.

This is a Giant Swallowtail, the largest North American butterfly species. with a wingspan range of 86-140mm (3-3/8" to 5-1/2"). It flitted about my yard for a few minutes, but always returned to this mass planting of phlox.
It was a windy day and the dragonfly was clinging tightly to the branch as it vibrated back and forth. I fired a burst of shots and later merged them in Photoshop to create this image for Wing Wednesday, with added toning applied.

It's dark in here; can't see the sky
But I look at this blue wing and I close my eyes
And I fly away beyond these walls
Up above the clouds where the rain don't fall
On a poor man's dream

Roseate spoonbills are found in wetlands throughout the Americas, including parts of the United States, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. They are considered a threatened species in some parts of their range due to habitat loss and other factors.
These flower look like wings of nature in our parks, streets and gardens. Thanks for visit and have a great day everyone, stay out of the sun or be at a shadowed location, if you know older people it does not cost much to check on them on days like yesterday or today to make sure they are fine.

für manche menschen ist der winter die jahreszeit, in der sie am meisten lesen. auf mich trifft das nicht zu, ich lese immer..,-)
meine empfehlung für spannende winterabende ist "Trümmerkinder" vom Mechtild Borrmann und wenn ihr dann im leserausch seid "Der Schwimmer" von Joakim Zander.
viel spass...;-))
It must be the last flower photo for now.
Hey, I'm not a flower store or something. ;)
Try this ..... I honestly have no idea what flower this is. Its center looks like a cluster of small transparent insect wings when you look closely.
