Under the scorching summer heat
there’s a majestic sight to behold
exuding power and poise
from its agile flight
Its shimmering wings
hovers like a helicopter
flies backwards like a hummingbird
dances like a graceful ballerina
One will scurry off
after detecting a slight movement
by its excellent eyesight
Have you catch a dragonfly? My playmates and I tried to be inconspicuous trying to catch them by their long abdomen. There are some you can easily catch but there are elusive. Don’t worry. We don’t harm them. We set them free after catching them.

I have always loved dragonflies. I consider them one of the friendly beauties in the insect world, along with butterflies. A close-up landing on a still hand was a special moment. Lovely post, Winnie. 🙂

Dragonflies are all around here. There are so many of them. But I am a bit afraid to catch them.

My mom and I caught them all the time. She use to tie them on a string, and then we would let them go😀
