Howdy doody everyone! I know it has been a while since I have posted but I have been very busy. My baby girl has just found herself a nice plant stem near the pond and she has just started metamorphosis! They grow up so fast… But alongside my baby girl, I have also just had a new batch of children! I was not able to find a good enough plant to lay my eggs on this time, but I'm sure they will be fine growing up in the pond waters. Luckily it is very warm this time of year. I just hope this time they do not eat each other…
Anyways with that out of the way, today I woke up extra hungry and you will never believe my luck! I just happened to find a delicious small fish as well as several mosquitos nearby! It was like a feast just for me! Sadly as soon as I had but one mosquito left, another jerk came and tried to take it! Despite the fact I was only going 30 miles an hour I felt like I was going to create a sonic boom at any point! I managed to just barely grab the mosquito before they got at it. I think they were a damselfly to be honest… They think just because they are thinner that they are better than us dragonflies? I swear, the nerve… I hope they realize looks aren't everything. Speaking of looks, my vision has been rather blurry lately. I talked to my doctor and he said it was completely natural and that seeing in all directions can be straining on the eyes but I think it is something worse. When I looked in the pond reflection this morning my eyes looked way bigger than usual but he pushes it aside like it is nothing! It has been about a month since I became a dragonfly but if I only have a month left to live I want to at least be able to see! He also gave me some sort of diagram and said that my abdomen was “abnormal!” How dare he! My abdomen abnormal my hindwing! Doctors these days will do anything to scare you and make you see them more often! I don’t have all the flies in the world to spend on useless appointments!
Gosh I sound like an old lady, rambling on like this. My apologies folks, I may need to end my update here. A larger dragonfly is coming my way and he looks hungry… Goodbye for now!!!
