Poor Ciwet Dragonfly 🦟

Here we mention the name Dragonfly ciwet It is one of the many dragonflies that control some of this area, they are included in the family Libellulidae. Entomologists say this species, derived from Pantala hymenaea, the spot-winged glider is the only member of the genus Pantala of the subfamily Pantalinae, and this dragonfly is the most abundant species on this earth. More, you can read it here 👉 ^{Wikipedia.org}

It is very much seen in our area, but it is in a certain location, not just any place, it chooses a location where there are and are many places where they are clean water which makes it thrive in each of those waters.

In essence, they will breed in a location that is rarely traveled by public bustle, or far from the daily center of human activity. I myself very often find it in certain locations as mentioned above.

The last few days we have seen some of these ciwet dragonflies roaming around our homes, yes of course they have detected land that is suitable for occupancy with their families. It was certain that they would establish their civilization here in this region. Incidentally this month beside our house, a natural freshwater fish pond location has been made, the pond is rectangular in size with a size of 100 X 40 or an area of ​​4000 meters which is centered as the location of a freshwater fish pond.

The pond has been filled with clean water and the edges of the pond are overgrown with some weeds, and there are also special wild plants planted in the area, thus attracting the dragonflies to dominate their new territory.

Several other dragonflies, doing their daily activities on the left side of our house, can be seen perching on every ornamental plant that grows in the front area of ​​the room. One of them hit a support post, thus causing his leg injury, he looks very tired in the face of the conditions. So it's very easy for me to reach the dragonfly of body, you can see this in the picture.

It's very sad to see this one, even though the injury is not serious but the pain he feels is clearly visible, because he can't fly like the previous days, so I was very easy to catch him and take some photos.

Grabbing her not to hold her hostage, but trying to keep her even by winning her, and it seemed to work because she was able to stand on her little feet already, her front paws could reach my thumbs, her grip on her legs was so strong I could feel it from my own hands. But why hasn't he flown up and gone to his destination?

Then I put it on the palm of my hand, but he still fell down and couldn't stand up, it turned out that he was still experiencing one thing that made him unable to control a situation, I think he was still dizzy and not normal, maybe due to a hard impact so he still felt the condition sick.

For a few hours to recover from consciousness, he will move but can't control when he stands up, of course he still has pain. Then I let it sit for some time and I put it on the side of the houseplant, hoping it would heal.

Because, in the opinion of some entomologists say that, the insect has a unique thing in its body recovery when experiencing pain. Having a system in a self-taught, or natural stage of healing is unique and every insect species has it.

After experiencing a period of self-taught or natural recovery, the ciwet has been able to stand back up and his body seems to have improved. This can be seen in the last image in this post. Before releasing it from where it came from, I myself tried to see it up close and also continued to take pictures of it in a different position.

When put it on the index finger of my right, then his body has started to move again, meaning he is healed, he has no more deep pain, maybe soon he will fly away from me. It turned out that it was true that not long ago this red ciwet dragonfly flew high and far to the location he liked. I hopefully he gets what he wants. Hopefully....
