What the Dragonfly Under a Little Cloud Scene Shows

The dragonfly faces forward in the center while hovering over clusters of leafy plants. Its two pairs of wings extend outward, making all four visible at once. Several little clouds occupy the sky above and beside it, placing the insect in an open summer setting close to vegetation.

Surprising Facts About Hovering Dragonflies

Dragonflies can hover, fly backward, and change direction quickly because they control their two pairs of wings separately. They often patrol near ponds and wetlands, where their young spend part of their lives underwater. As adults, they catch smaller flying insects with their legs while in flight.
