Nature's Royal Ballet - The Empress of Dragonflies Gracefully Dances on Water
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting snapshot captured by FLPA photographer Andrew Bailey, we witness a mesmerizing scene straight out of a fairytale. Meet the majestic Emperor Dragonfly, an adult female effortlessly gliding above the tranquil waters of a garden pond in Bentley, Suffolk. With delicate wings shimmering in the summer sunlight, she elegantly hovers just above the water's surface. Her reflection creates a mirror image that seems to double her regal presence. It is as if she knows she is the queen of this realm and demands our attention. But there is more to this display than meets the eye. As she gracefully moves across the pond, our empress has an important mission at hand – laying her precious eggs beneath its glistening surface. With each gentle touch upon the water's edge, new life begins to take shape. This magical moment reminds us of nature's intricate beauty and its ability to create wonders right before our eyes. It serves as a reminder that even in our own gardens or local ponds, extraordinary creatures like these dragonflies exist and play their part in maintaining balance within ecosystems. So next time you find yourself near still waters on a warm summer day, keep your eyes peeled for these ethereal dancers who bring joy and wonder with every flutter of their wings.
