Notes About The Poem

Dragonflies - the American 767

~Dragonflies~
(American 767)



Dragonflies are odonata
they have close large eyes
bigger than the damselflies

Have slender bodies two wings
Variety numerous
they eat other small insects

Attack small fish and tadpoles
eat mosquitos and midges
they live in diverse biotope

Some are found in ponds and swamps
Prefer to live in wetlands 
Some live in lakes acidic bogs 

Male grasps the head of female 
Sperm transfer fertilizes eggs 
Some female lays eggs alone 

Eggs dropped in aquatic plants 
or directly in water 
Some larvas stage in ponds marshes

When ready to change into adult 
They climb out of the water 
Shed skin become dragonfly 

Dragonflies are unique insects 
Colorful beautiful 
Adults can live up to two months
