Wow. Wow. Wow. I happened to see one, today, with what was, unmistakably, what was left of a butterfly in its mouth. I was taken aback. Had never occurred to me that dragonflies would, could, eat butterflies. I tried to take a picture, but it was too fast. Obviously very protective of its catch.
I had to look it up. BINGO. Wow. I was shocked. Had no idea.
Yes, I understand that it is all part of nature. But, but, but …
I used to think they were so pretty and cute. Not sure I can think of them like that anymore. I kind of like my butterflies. Nature is CRUEL.
