This rather distinctive species from the skimmer family has a beautiful metallic blue tail and translucent grey wings. It has a voracious appetite and continuously eats small flying insects effortlessly with its effective vision and a strike rate of near-perfect.
Inhabitants of two realms—water and air, dragonflies have fluttered through the world for almost 300 million years. Energetic and poised in the summer warmth, their colors reflect and refract the light; maybe that’s why they’re connected to the breathers of fire, the mighty dragons. The Chrysler Museum's glass collection includes examples of dragonflies by the Tiffany Studio and Émile Gallé.
