Hallo steemian's, today I made a scientific article to see how dragonfly reproduced. Dragonfly is a beautiful animal. Dragonflies always perched with wings spread or stretched out to the side. Dragonflies also a pilot who is reliable and has a cruising area that is large enough to measure the insects seem. Dragonfly wing structure that is unique, making it have the ability to fly at fixed positions in the air and landed smoothly on the spot he wanted, like a helicopter. :D
I'm interested in discussing this because the shape of a dragonfly unique resembles a helicopter that made me interesting to discuss, Yesterday when I explored the garden near the pool at my house, which is in the capital city of Aceh-Sumatra, I get a two-tailed dragonfly taking off their desire to breed.
These insects are rarely far from the water, which is a place where they spawn and spend the pre-adult children. Dragonflies can be found from the waterfront up to a height of more than 3,000m above sea level.
Dragonflies are oviparous animals or animals that reproduce by laying eggs. Dragonflies lay their eggs in a safe place in the water, usually in the leaf blades of Tumbuan water. Dragonflies just want to lay their eggs in water that is still clean and free from pollution. This makes the existence of the dragonfly is often used as a bio-indicator to determine the water quality in an area.
Dragonfly is the faithful animal. After mating and egg-containing female dragonfly, dragonfly male partner will always follow him everywhere he goes. When dragonfly females about to lay her eggs, then it is a very dangerous time for the salvation of his soul. As he concentrated to remove the eggs, he could lose vigilance and become easy targets for predators such as birds. So to protect her, the male dragonfly will fly over it so that if there are predators who target, then she who is eaten instead dragonfly females.
After the eggs hatch and become maggot dragonfly (dragonfly larvae), then he will live and thrive in the bottom waters until metamorphosed into nymphs, and finally out of the water as an adult dragonfly with wings perfectly ready to fly.
Most of the life cycle is spent in the form of dragonfly nymphs, below the water surface, using internal gills to breathe. In phase into maggot and nymphs, dragonfly life as ferocious carnivores. Nymphs large can even hunt and prey on tadpoles and young fish. Having grown up and able to fly, dragonfly only able to live for a maximum of four months.
And below, I also share some pictures of my shots yesterday. Please leave comments and and response to my post this. Thanks.
