Have you ever seen a dragonfly hovering over a pool of water, relentlessly dipping its bum onto the surface? I watched a bright orange one doing so this morning. Being the curious person that I am, I looked into why they do this: they are dropping eggs on the water surface. It's a necessary activity for the survival of their species, I guess.
Yesterday there was a dead dragonfly floating on the pool's surface. And I figured that it is dangerous business having translucent wings flapping millimetres from liquid. One misjudgement and they drown.
And I wondered how dangerous my life is.
That's all I wondered.
