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.

When it originally opened in 1914, the Power Station was one of the most advanced power centers in all of Europe, however it will likely be better remembered for its ornate Art Deco architecture than its technological wonder. Parts are still used, except the old transformer buildings and the Art Deco control room.

Just returned from a short trip to Northern Michigan to see the International Dark Sky Park. My first attempt at astro photography. I learned a lot and look forward to trying again, but am pleased with a couple of images I came away with. So awed by my first real sighting of the Milky Way. Thank you to Alfred Lockwood for the many tips and directions, it was enormously helpful!
