if anyone ever tells me bugs are soulless machines i will simply nod dismissively at them and think about this common darter (Sympetrum striolatum) that comically scratched its head/eyeball with its little leg as i was taking closeups of its face for fun. then i will tase them

bonus full body shots in case anyone wants to see the whole boy (August 18th, 2024)

White-faced Meadowhawk Dragonfly (Sympetrum obtrusum), in Algonquin Provincial Park. This species drops its eggs into water or occasionally into dry areas that will later flood, allowing the development of their aquatic larvae. . . . . . . . #nature #ontario #sympetrum #sympetrumobtrusum #meadowhawk #whitefacedmeadowhawk #dragonflyphotography #dragonfly #dragonfliesoftheworld #dragonfliesphotography #dragonflies #dragonfliesofontario #insects_of_our_world #algonquinpark #algonquinprovincialpark #algonquinwildlife (at Algonquin Provincial Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEMi_irA0px/?igshid=1sbhwrqj3cc8y
