I was at the dogpark today and there were SWARMS of dragonflys. I happen to be particularly fond of dragonflys, always have been and I tend to notice them when they're about.
There were veritable flying battalions of them today. They were beautiful, bright electric blue, deep ruby red, some with white and black, some tan, all gliding along, following the vagauries of wind that we don't even sense, they surf along on invisable waves, barely a flicker of doubled wings and course is changed, zip and flit and they're gone.
They're really cool predators as waterbound nymphs too. I think, not sure without checking, but I think that as adults they eat nothing at all, no mouth parts, which would be incredible considering the amounts of food they consume prior to an airebound existance.
Anyway, I was wondering if any of you might know where they go when they die; their bodies I mean, don't know if they've got souls and that's a whole other conversation.
