Enchanting! Both the Odonata and this charming entomologist. Thank you!
I have a confession. When I was 9-10 years old, there were always dragon flies to be found around a small pothole of water around a dirt road or gravel path on the island where I grew up. For sport I would try and catch the flies, then I started shooting the flies with my handmade slingshot, and then graduated to a bb gun. I killed quite a few. As an adult I carry that guilt around with me. I've always been facinated by dragon flies and feel so remorseful for the terror I brought to the flies when I was a kid. Watching this brought those memories back as well as the awareness that the dragonflies have disappeared from where I grew up, or at least they have become very scarce. They are a beautiful insect. Ack then we thought they were attacking each other, but later figured out they were mating as they flew in the air and hovered over the pond water, one fly on top of the other like planes when refueling in the sky. I miss watching them.
You are the reason why the mosquitoes are out of control. 🤦🏽♀️ j/k
Don't feel so bad, at least you have guilt and remorse, this lady regularly murders thousands of dragonflies "for science" and feels absolutely no remorse. In fact, she probably feels proud, and that it's "necessary". Entomology as a field involves lots of death. You can see she is okay with death because she kills fish. Rich of her to talk about conservation or species declines, lol.
Love this woman 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I actually had no idea dragonflies lived in the Arctic! I would love to learn more about them!
awesome 🙏🏾
As libélulas são belas, eu fico feliz ao ver uma em seu voo! 🍃🥰
As a kid i was an avid naturalist. I'd spend all my time outdoors exploring. I especially loved exploring streams and ponds. I had a fish tank in my room and i'd bring home tadpoles, crawdads, fish and anything else i could catch. One time i found this long bodied, bug eyed monster and brought him home. Monster was an apt description as he proceeded to eat almost everything in the tank that spring until one morning I found that he'd climbed out of the water and encased itself in a hard shell. When I came home from school there was a buzzing at my window and there in a shaft of light was the most beautiful, dazzlingly green Dragonfly I'd ever seen. I watched him for a few minutes and then pried the screen open and he flew away. Other than the whole experience what really stood out was just how bright the green was.
Wow- thank you for sharing this experience! Dragonflies' colors are indeed something to behold.
In my language we call them "wolf-flies", I guess that's because we don't have dragons in our land, not in nature, not in myth.
Dragonflies inspire me
I love dragonflies! So colorful and agile. Here in south Florida -at least where I live which is coastal and has so many canals- I expect to see more than I actually do. Maybe they are in decline. Also, here the water in canals and ponds is sprayed with herbicides because of algal blooms and I am pretty sure that can’t help dragonfly populations. And the turf is sprayed with insecticides. In fact, I see very few insects at all and I work outdoors. Excellent video - this was fun to watch!
Guhl I love dragonflies too
I think being an entomologist will be interesting. If I were ever one I would study butterflies and moths a.k.a Lepidoptera.
I love dragonflies also do you think you guys could upload the soundtracks of some of the exhibits like the shark exhibit and the T-rex The ultimate Predator exhibit?
I love dragonflies and damselflies and I would love to learn more about them and their natural history and entomology but I would especially love it if the American Museum of Natural History produces a new virtual tour of The Hall of Ornithschian Dinosaurs at the AMNH. As well as a new updated version of the virtual tour of The Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs and The Hall of Vetebrate Origins (Previously done with Tour Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs, Tour The Hall of Vetebrate Origins and Tour Giants of the Museum.) as well as tours of the AMNH's Titanosaur (Patagotitan), two mammal fossil halls and new AMNH Learn With Mes focusing on the AMNH science and nature-reference books, The World of Dinosaurs: An Illustrated Tour, Innumerable Insects, Secrets of the Whales, Dinosaurs: New Visions of a Lost World, Mesozoic Art: Dinosaurs and Other Ancient Animals in Art, Hubble Legacy and AMNH traveling exhibits T. rex: The Ulimate Predator, Unseen Oceans, The Nature of Color, Butterfly Conservatory, Worlds Beyond Earth, Dark Universe, Sharks, The Titanosaur (Patagotitan) and Our Senses: The Immersive Experience.

That darner looks like the australian emperor darner scientific name: Hemianax papuensis
ever since I found out their bite can puncture human skin I've been afraid
