Notice the tip of the female's abdomen. It's just under the surface, dropping eggs that will hatch out into fierce dragonfly nymphs, capable of ripping small fish and tadpoles apart in short order.
Moments from River Patrol on the Silver River (in Silver Springs Florida, next to Ocala) where I am one of many CSO volunteers. This amazing, spring-fed river is now threatened more than during any other time during since it's rebirth more than 12,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age. Let's all work hard to cherish and protect it for our grandchildren!
