Dragonfly nymph
When looking at this picture, one almost couldn’t imagine how beautiful an animal this has become. Dragonflies are delighted with the amount of water there is in the land, and their breeding happens every year here, without any major difficulty. You can observe in one of the ponds near the house, the larvae that grow everyday bigger into a nymph and finally takes flight, leaving this carcass behind. Dragonflies then feed on mosquitoes, flies and other little insects that they catch while flying and eat in situ above the swimming pool. The presence of dragonflies, like any other large insect, are a good sign of balance in a place’s ecosystem. It means that there is enough food for it to hunt, survive and breed. At the same time they can also be prey for other creatures, sustaining other parts of the food chain.
