PhotoFeed Contest ~ Macro Photography Round 88~Soldier Dragonfly

6 days ago

Hallo Hivers...

In PhotoFeed Contest - Macro Photography Round 88, I share some photos about soldier dragonflies. Among the diversity of living things in this world, the soldier dragonfly (Pantala flavescens) may look like a small creature that is not so special. However, behind its simple appearance, this dragonfly holds an interesting story about adaptation and its important role in the ecosystem.

One thing that makes soldier dragonflies stand out is their ability to perform long migrations. They are often seen crossing the ocean, traveling thousands of kilometers from one place to another, regardless of geographical boundaries. Their extraordinary journeys help spread genetics and contribute to the food chain in many ecosystems.

Physically, soldier dragonflies have slender bodies with transparent wings that allow them to fly swiftly. They are also known to be effective predators, feeding on small insects such as mosquitoes and other dragonflies. In the ecosystem, their role as predators can help control insect populations.
