The Dragonfly That Caught My Eye

Such beauty and speed
Large eyes with two pair of wings 
Life is short only six months
Seeing almost 360 degrees around

With top speeds of 18 MPH
On this earth 300 million years ago
Imagine how many dragonflies that would be
They can catch and eat their prey

Without even landing they eat on the run
Their eggs they lay in water some stay up to six years
The United Kingdom was their 1st sanctuary in 2009
I thank you for giving theses amazing insects a home
