As you know I had been keeping dragonfly nymphs for our school project. A few of the dragonfly nymphs that I were keeping eventually emerged out as adult dragonflies very soon. I woke up one morning to hear a buzzing sound from one of the containers. Upon checking it out, it was an adult dragonfly. I did, however, manage to shoot the dragonfly before it flew away.

I brought it to school by placing it inside a paper bag. Once I reached the CTW, I opened the bag and released it. It was too fast that I lost sight of the dragonfly as soon as it flew. Here's a shot of the moulted skin of the dragonfly nymph.

Just a few days after the first, a second dragonfly emerged. This time, it was out of the container and flying around my room. Lucky the dragonfly didn't fly out. But it would not have been too bad if it did.

And finally another shot of the new dragonfly's moulted skin.

I took this one too in a paper bag to school and released it near the School's CTW. So far a success.
