What is it eating…? And another question, this island is sea-locked and theres no fresh water ponds around here for them to lay eggs. Why are so many dragonflies flying around on the hill? pic.twitter.com/Q6ECeddZZLIslandlover (@Islandl56119279) September 9, 2020
I like these beautiful damselflies. I learned a new word, damselfry. pic.twitter.com/pnNZGWO5gnIslandlover (@Islandl56119279) September 9, 2020

Ladybug is one of my favorite insects. In Japanese we call this tiny animal as (ten-you-mushi), which means a bug heading the sky. Maybe because ladybugs keep climbing up. #rooseveltisland pic.twitter.com/zTqo4M8zdQIslandlover (@Islandl56119279) September 8, 2020
