Fossil records show that dragonflies were around for 100 million years before the dinosaurs. These prehistoric predators had wingspans of over three feet and are the largest insects known. Imagine if they were that big now—a dainty dragonfly landing on your finger would not seem quite socharming! Dragonfly Meaning andSymbolism We also used a dragonfly on Abi’s memorial stone – again in blue with silver glitter on the wings. This was another unique design and something the stonemason had never done before, but we felt it came out very well. Looking for a good book? Chasing Dragonflies by Cindy Crosby is a memoir of a natural science researcher - tough and resilient (both Crosby and the dragonflies she chases). A: Our synopsis of “Chasing Fireflies” will provide a detailed overview of the key events and turning points in the narrative, giving you a clear understanding of the story. Q: How does the plot of “Chasing Fireflies” unfold?On the other hand, a dragonfly’s life seems impossibly short, rarely longer than a year. Like other insects, it begins as an egg, then hatches into a flightless larval form, called the “nymph.” Only in the last four weeks of its existence does it metamorphose into the predatory, migratory, cheetah-fast adult that can be found soaring over our marshes, orchards, or open fields. Briefly, intensely, with eyes that see the whole world, it rises only to “fall / With the other husks of summer” (LouiseBogan). The artwork by Peggy Macnamara is perfect, capturing the tough but fragile nature of the dragonflies and the reflective science of Cindy Crosby's writing. If you were out for a stroll 300 million years ago, you would have been well aware of dragonflies: some of the Meganeura, their ancient relatives, had wingspans of more than two feet. (The atmosphere’s higher oxygen content at that time allowed flying insects to grow exceptionally large.) These insects have been around long before the dinosaursappeared. But Crosby's journey is almost too personal. It sometimes appears cathartic - particularly as Crosby reflects on her cancer, aging, and family. She nicely ties these thoughts to the peaceful pursuit of dragonflies (and damselflies). And as a memoir, I really enjoyed this book and Crosby's quite poetic language.

Do Cats Eat Dragonflies? If you’ve ever seen a dragonfly buzzing around your garden or even near your house, you might have thought, Gee, I wonder if my cat would eat that? You may have also wondered this because your cat tries to catch everything that moves (that’s not you), including bugs and butterflies. Well, it turns out that cats actually can eat dragonflies!

Believe it or not, there are a few reasons why a cat might want to eat a dragonfly. For one, dragonflies are loaded with protein, which is essential for a healthy diet. Additionally, the crunchy exoskeleton can help clean a cat’s teeth. And finally, some cats enjoy the taste! Can They Hurt A Cat? Most people know dragonflies as those pesky insects always flying around in the summertime, but there’s a lot more to these creatures than meets the eye. For one, they’re incredibly fast – some species can fly up to 60 miles per hour! They’re also quite skilled hunters, using their keen eyesight and agility to catch their prey in mid-air. So, with all of this in mind, it’s no wonder that people are curious about whether or not cats can eat dragonflies. Where do they live? Dragonflies are born and spend most of their lives in aquatic habitats, so you can attract them by building a pond in your yard.
