EDITORS COMMENTS
From awkward to awesome - witness the incredible transformation of a Common Hawker Dragonfly larva! In this photo, captured by the talented Steve Downer, we are treated to a front-row seat as nature works its magic. The star of the show is none other than the dragonfly larva itself, just moments after shedding its old skin and revealing its vibrant new self. In the foreground lies a delicate reminder of its former life - the shed skin. A testament to growth and development, it serves as a striking contrast against the young dragonfly's sleek body. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates both beauty and curiosity in one frame. As we marvel at this underwater spectacle, it's hard not to be amazed by these fascinating creatures. With their glistening wings and graceful flight, dragonflies have long captivated our imaginations. But here we get an exclusive glimpse into their humble beginnings – from naiad to nymph – showcasing their journey towards adulthood. This enchanting scene takes place in none other than the United Kingdom itself, reminding us that even within our own backyard lies a world teeming with wildlife wonders waiting to be discovered. So next time you find yourself near still waters or hidden ponds, keep your eyes peeled for these remarkable insects undergoing their magical transformations.
