Dragonflies fun facts - Just one dragonfly can consume over 100 mosquitos in a day - Dragonflies can fly backwards - They have nearly 360° vision - Their wings inhibit bacterial growth due to their natural structures - They're actually beautiful

Who says guys don't look good in pink and purple? Here's a male roseate skimmer (Orthemis ferruginea) in the Corrales Bosque on August 4, 2026. #nature #naturephotography #dragonfly
A dragonfly perches at the end of dead twig, against a uniform tan background. The thorax is blue-purple and the abdomen is bright pink. Both of those body sections are slightly pruinose (meaning like they look like they have a little white dust on them). The head is dominated by dark purple eyes. The wings are clear except for dark veins and dark pterostigmata (small colored areas near the wingtips).

Butterflies are incredible creatures of nature, striking with their beauty and grace at first glance. This is the Camilla butterfly. While not a rare species, it's not often seen...

Peacock spiders are only 4mm long, but their courtship dance rivals any bird of paradise. Australia has over 90 species of these tiny, ultra-colorful performers.

Without bees, not only would our plates be significantly emptier – the diversity and nutritional value of our food would also be severely limited. Many foods that we enjoy daily, such as berries, nuts, or coffee, are directly dependent on pollination by bees.

The Halictids, sometimes called "sweat bees" because some species drink sweat for the salt, are the second most numerous family of bees (Apidae is the largest). Mostly they nest in the ground, some speices are social some are not. Some are shiny metalic green. They can sting but rarely do.
