A dragonfly above widening water ripples
The dragonfly occupies the center of the scene with both pairs of wings extended and its long, segmented abdomen trailing behind. Beneath it, evenly spaced rings spread across the water toward every side, suggesting a disturbance on the surface. The overhead view shows the insect's balanced body shape and the arrangement of all four wings.
Curious facts about dragonflies over water
Dragonflies commonly patrol ponds, lakes, and slow-moving streams because their young develop underwater. The immature form, called a nymph, lives in the water before climbing out and changing into a flying adult. Adults can control their four wings separately, allowing quick turns, hovering, and even backward flight.
