A Dragonfly Gliding Over the Pond
The dragonfly is shown from overhead, making its long body and two symmetrical pairs of wings easy to recognize. It floats above the pond while individual water lilies rest on the surface. Small clumps of grass appear in the lower corners, and a simple horizon marks the far edge of the water.
Surprising facts about dragonflies and ponds
Dragonflies spend the early part of their lives underwater as young insects called nymphs. A healthy pond can provide them with both an underwater nursery and a hunting area once they become flying adults. Their four wings can move independently, helping them hover, turn sharply, and even fly backward.
