What the Dragonfly Above a Water Lily Scene Shows
The large dragonfly appears near the upper center with its four wings fully extended and its long abdomen visible. Beneath it lies a round water-lily leaf. Blooming water lilies and unopened buds rise on stems to either side, linking an aerial insect with plants found in calm freshwater habitats.
Curious Facts About Dragonflies Near Water
Dragonflies begin life underwater as aquatic nymphs before emerging and changing into flying adults. Adults can move each pair of wings separately, allowing them to hover, turn sharply, and even fly backward. Ponds are important to their life cycle because females lay eggs in or close to water.
