Dragonflies Posted on June 26, 2011 at 11:53:48 AM by Michael Poulton
Re: Dragonflies....We saw something interesting here the other day. We were sitting by the river near the Museum of Temporary Art, in Victoria Road, when Marg spotted a little commotion on the water nearby. A dragonfly had dipped too low and was trapped and struggling on the water, its wings too wet to break the surface and get back into the air. While we watched, two other dragonflys came to its rescue and together pulled it clear of the water and they all flew off. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself. The degree of, first concern, and then cooperation, was something else. Dare say, Kropotkin would have something to say about this
