A Dragonfly Resting Among Lotus Plants
The large dragonfly is shown with its wings spread evenly on both sides of its long body. Blooming lotus flowers, unopened buds, and broad leaves surround it, while the upper part of the scene remains open. The centered insect and layered pond plants bring together two familiar sights from a freshwater habitat.
Fascinating Facts About Dragonflies and Lotus Ponds
Dragonflies often pause on plants near water, where they can rest, warm themselves, or watch for small flying insects. Their young, called nymphs, live underwater before emerging and changing into winged adults. Lotus plants root in mud beneath the water even though their leaves and flowers rise toward the surface.
