Damselfly
4 comments
On a quiet morning when the sun began to shine and among the lush green leaves I found a tiny creature perched on a branch of a plant. She was a damselfly or in Latin known as Agriocnemis pygmaea, which is one of the damselfly species from the Coenagrionidae family.
I saw her resting very quietly there, under the branch of a plant. She didn't move at all even though I was very close to her, she remained calm perched there as if nothing had happened around her. Maybe she could predict that I was not her enemy, so she could relax without fear and leave the most comfortable place.
Even though she was very relaxed, I remained vigilant considering her very tiny body if she moved it would make it difficult for me to find her whereabouts. Look at her body, it is very smooth, almost invisible. So smooth that many eyes ignore it. Behind her super tiny body, if we take the time to look at it carefully, her charm is so beautiful like tiny jewelry carved directly by the hands of nature and placed on a tropical forest canvas.
This damselfly is a little different from other dragonflies in general. When stopping in a place, both of its wings are closed tightly behind its body. That makes its appearance even more charming. For its habitat, damselfly is very easy to find in a quiet and pollution-free environment. It seems like I found this, he was in the grass near a water reservoir.
