They hatch in clear water
and spend most of their life (9-10 months)
as larvae inside clear water.
Then they come out of the water
and live another 1 to two months as
adult dragon flies on earth.
They have 4 wings
with muscles controlling
each wing independently,
allowing them to rotate their wings
and flap in different way,they can hover and then move forward
and make very sharp turns
Today, after I met the wonderful swarm of dragonflies near the beach, I get a dragonfly to know a bit more about its amazing flying capacity. I came across so many masters and myths about the dragonfly, from luck bringers to representing the devil.
I think they are very special creatures. They were already around in the times of the dinosaurs. I try to avoid the superstition but looking at their incredible movements, it is not hard to understand that people have been giving incredible powers to them and created legends and myths about them.
Next time, I see a swarm of dragonflies, I think I will like to see it more because of the most womderous things about it.
