A Dragonfly Flying Past Water Lilies
The dragonfly occupies the upper part of the scene with two balanced pairs of wings spread from its slender body. Below it, blooming water lilies and their leaves gather along the lower edge. Together, the flying insect and pond plants show two forms of life commonly associated with freshwater habitats.
Nature facts about dragonflies and water lilies
Dragonflies are skilled aerial hunters that catch tiny flying insects with their legs. Water lilies remain anchored in the pond bottom even while their leaves float overhead. Those leaves can cool patches of water by blocking some sunlight, creating sheltered areas below the surface.
