I remember learning about dragonflies and damselflies several years ago. The fact that stuck with me the most was that the naiads are absolutely vicious predators for the years they remain underwater.

Wow I never knew the difference! Now I'll know to look at their wings when they land (or their eyes if I can get close) to tell

Did some summer work catching and cataloging these friends - without harming them of course.

lightweight nets, waders and patience. No great trick, except the safe way to hold them (both wings gently - don't hold their legs or just one wing). And don't catch ones that are newly shed - they are fragile!

Wait, they actually form a heart shape when they're having sex?! That's such an amazing and funny co-incidence! XD

I remember reading about the mating practices of dragonflies. I seem to remember it was pretty vicious.

I love the imagos though I know hardly anything about them. Thank you! The larvae are giving me the creeps though. 😅

lovely page and would make an awesome print! (...which i might be too broke to buy but eh) typo: dragonflies fly *at* up to 36km/h not 'for' (which,woah!)
