A dragonfly smiled at me

image
When I took a picture of a dragonfly, I remembered my childhood. My grandmother used to catch dragonflies in the garden, and took home to make traditional medicine. A dragonfly that has been brought home is burned directly on a charcoal fire, after being baked, then dragonflies are given to us aged 4-5 years to eat it. My grandmother said the dragonfly that had been burned into a medicine so as not to urinate when sleeping at night. I do not know if this is true or engineering from generation to generation in ancient times. But after I eat the dragonflies that have been burned, I never pee again when sleeping at night. The flavor of the dragonfly is not much different like the taste of grilled shrimp.

Now I really like the young green dragonfly. Each dragonfly has different colors, and different types as well.

Previously I didn't realize that the dragonflies were smiling, when I saw it on the computer after coming home from macro photos, I was very laughing to see it. lol

Amazing details in the photos...I have always liked dragoflies...lovely creatures!

thanks. I also really like the dragonfly

Stunning photos and a very interesting story from your childhood memories. You have captured such fine details of the facial hair (if one can call it that?) and the expression of its face. Thank you!

Nice photos :)
