Newly-emerged dragonflies
Newly-emerged dragonflies. Adult dragonflies (order Odonata) on plant stems after emerging from the nypmh stage. Their discarded nymphal cases (exuviae) can be seen below and between them. After metamorphosis, adult dragonflies rest on a plant stem whilst pumping blood into their wings and filling their abdomens with air. As the cuticle dries it hardens. Photographed on a high-altitude lake on Mount Lassen, Cascade Mountains, California, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing sight of newly-emerged dragonflies in their natural habitat. Taken on a high-altitude lake nestled within the majestic Cascade Mountains of California, USA, this image showcases the intricate beauty of these adult dragonflies as they rest delicately on plant stems. Having just completed their transformation from nymphs to adults, these dragonflies can be seen pumping blood into their wings and filling their abdomens with air. The discarded nymphal cases, known as exuviae, are scattered below and between them, serving as a reminder of their remarkable metamorphosis. As the cuticle—the protective outer layer—dries and hardens, these magnificent creatures prepare to take flight. The lush greenery surrounding the lake adds to the enchanting ambiance captured in this photograph. The vibrant wildflowers and grass blades provide an ideal backdrop for showcasing both the delicate features of these insects and the intricacies of nature's design. With its focus on detail and precision, this image not only highlights the biological marvel that is incomplete metamorphosis but also offers a glimpse into North America's rich biodiversity. It serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression—a true celebration of nature's wonders.
