About 6 years ago, a friend suddenly lost her mom. I left work to track her down since she’d driven off and was in a parking lot falling apart. Found her and in the process of comforting her, drew her a little thing because her mom loved Winnie the Pooh and dragonflies.
Like a year later, she texted me this photo.
It’s crazy to me that’s out there now. That’s my handwriting.

The king of the midsummer pond, Libellula pulchella, the Twelve-spotted Skimmer. True to their specific epithet (pulchella = beautiful little), they're one of the most gorgeous northeastern dragonflies.
This guy was perched on a dead tree next to a small pool, making sure the other male skimmers (Libellula cyanea and Libellula semifasciata) didn't get too close to his territory
Sometimes the white spots on their wings, as well as the pruinosity on their abdomen, will even reflect slightly blue

Was anyone gonna tell me that the larvae of most dragonflies use a form of jet propulsion to speed through the water by way of drawing in and ejecting water from their rectums or was I just supposed to read that in an entomology book myself
