Was zoomed in on this dragonfly, watching it while waiting for some birds to come around, and it was looking straight ahead for the longest time. And then it tilted its head and looked at me. What?! Then it looked up at the sky and flew away. There are more than 5,000 known species of dragonflies, and they were some of the first winged insects to evolve around 300 million years ago. Today’s dragonflies’ wingspans are two to five inches, but fossils of dragonflies have been found with wingspans of up to two feet. Yikes!! (Source: Smithsonian)
