Blue-Eyed Darners
The blue-eyed darner is a common dragonfly found in the western United States and central Canada. They are primarily sighted in spring as they come in a swarm, perching from flower to flower. The blue-eyed darner is as beautiful in real life as in this image, but it is greatly misunderstood. Wanna know why?
Have you heard a myth that dragonflies sting or have the power to seal your lips together? This has made children and even adults scared of these harmless creatures. However, there is no truth to the myth. Dragonflies do not sting, nor do they bite. Their jaws are only designed to catch and consume insects, not humans. So, next time you see a dragonfly, take the time to appreciate its vibrant colors. It will definitely put a smile on your face.
