any wasp experts know why it looks like they're chewing up one of their own babies? or is it that all grubs look the sameish?

It did get down to the 40s so maybe the cold killed it and they're recycling?

can’t keep spacing in poll titles for shit

anyways here’s the dragonfly poem but for realisies this time (the spacing is very important to me):

have you ever had a dragonfly

perched

upon your finger

beady

round shiny eyes staring up at you curiously,

cautiously,

wings wilting lower and lower as a sign of trust

until finally,

it shoots towards your face!

and against your instincts you remain still.

have you ever had that dragonfly snatch the mosquito preying upon you or at least considering it

out of the air, faster than the eye can think,

and return

to

your finger to chomp down its meal?

that feeling of being

protected

by something much smaller than yourself,

is probably the reason

gods

choose mortals.

they probably think you are a tree,

or at least a massive beast

with your small comparative eye size and lack of wings

your loud booming voice and your

slow

movement speed.

but in that very instance, you are there to stand tall

to hold out a finger in the warmest beam of sunlight

to provide food and rest while

also

being

protected.

have you ever held your heart in your throat watching the gory devouring of a small insect?

have you ever wanted to do anything for this dragonfly?

round

beady eyes

watching you as it eats

unable to comprehend the depth of your emotions or the scope of things you would do for it?

you started out annoying dragonflies into perching on your finger, doing it out of

curiosity

at first, and then as a flex. then you started raising them up to shine in the sun, bask in its warmth like the flower stalks you mimicked.

every time one lands, or two, you do this now:

let them relax for a bit, then slowly.

gently.

raise them up to the sky.

if you could eat them you'd be at a disadvantage. they're farther away and harder to catch up with. but you don't so you won't, and you hold them up high.

this must be what it's like appointing a legendary hero.

this time, right here and now, you staring into the dragonfly's round beady eyes and

it regarding you back while eating its mosquito

this is when you begin to see

you can't do everything yourself.

#tugsposting #dragonfly poem #insects #insect death #i didnt catch it on camera bc its one of those things that's more important to not look away from

I mean congrats to the spider. I am not getting in bed until I'm very sure it's not gonna fall on my face and it's currently camouflaged directly above that, in the hardest spot for me to pull the cup trick and most annoying spot to try the bug spray. it has most certainly won this round
