About The Dragonfly

The dragonfly is a harmless insect with a long thin body and two pairs of wings.

The wings are fragile and transparent but that doesn't stop the dragonfly from flying very fast.

They benefit us by eating flies, mosquitoes and other insects.

You will likely find dragonflies around water, it is their breeding ground.

This insect has six legs.

It can perch on its legs but it can't walk.

It catches other insects using the legs or the jaws.

Adult dragonflies live only up to a few months. The life span is up to five years.

A young dragonfly is called a dragonfly nymph.

I like to give you information on your drawing subject so you can increase your knowledge about things as you go along your artistic journey.

It's good for you to learn something new everyday.

And, I am learning all the time too, when I do the research for my drawings.

My Mum did these dragonfly drawings for us. We always get together and do drawings and generally have a lot of laughs.

It's nice when we do art together, we chat about different things and Mum is terrific with her encouragement and advice for my drawings. I'm always happy to learn.

So, next time you do your drawings of dragonflies, encourage a friend to join you and spend some quality time with each other.
