A dragonfly resting by the pond
The insect is shown from above in the center of the scene, with four spread wings, simple wing veins, a segmented abdomen, and a pair of large eyes. It rests on a smooth pebble surrounded by other stones, while blades of grass grow in the corners. The horizontal view brings the dragonfly and its pond-edge habitat together in one calm moment.
Life around the water
Dragonflies spend the early part of their lives underwater as aquatic nymphs. Adults often return to ponds and other wetlands to hunt, find mates, and lay eggs. Their large compound eyes help them notice movement in many directions while they fly or rest near the shore.
