as the sun rises, the dragonfly prepares for her daily metamorphosis.
the dragonfly egg is oviposited in a stream of water
shedding her first skin begins the dragonfly’s transformation into the world; she must be ready!
the dragonfly transforms into a myriad of nymphal forms, new features appearing through each molt.
after her final nymph stage, the dragonfly becomes a sexually mature adult.
as the sun sets, the dragonfly rinses her new form, preparing to return for tomorrow’s metamorphosis.
“metamorphosis.”
