I found this dragon fly lying on the ground beside a grill. It was perfectly preserved. It's blue thorax and abdomen had not faded. The wings had only a few bits missing. The legs were perfectly folded and the eyes were brilliantly shiny. Such a lovely creature. They dart about just feet above the ground snatching mosquitoes and gnats. They are the corvettes of bugdom because they burn off almost as many calories eating as they do flying. They must constantly teeter on the edge of starvation.
