Very cool. I found a male green darmer with a broken wing in a parking lot. He was alive but barely. Felt sad about it and it led me to learning about them. Thank you for the video
Dragonfly 0901am 16.10.23 this is odd - i was told 5 years.... now 2-3 years for the life cycle of the dragonfly water nymph. originally told it was 25 years regards the life cycle of a drangonfly nymph... ummmmmmmmm...... do you think these guys know what they're a talking about or are they just perpetually pish takers masking as erudite scientific boffs?
This is a beautiful film Andy. Thank you for this informative description of the Dragonfly's life cycle. I did not know that the molting also took place aquatically.
This was awesome! I came looking to find the dragonfly season from egg to flight and you delivered. In central Texas, I built a long fall and stream in my frontyard that attracted Dragon and Damselflies. My favorite is called a neon skimmer. I got to watch the whole mating process to territorial guarding just as you described. My main question was when is it safe (season)to clean the stream, which should be done every few years, without affecting the nymphs. According to your film, that’s never because they live on water a few years before emerging, which means there are generations of nymphs in the water😕 Looks like I need another plan. Learned so much with this film. Thank you again!
The military drama tv series "The Unit' brought me here. I always thought the call sign "Snake Doctor" (used by one of the characters in the show) was very cool. My Google search indicates that "snake doctor" refers to dragonflies. 😜
Dragonfly 0900am 16.10.23 rather than sit around saying how amazing you all are.... merely enjoying the world of such things as the dragonfly kindda cancels all that garbage out.
They are absolutely not grotesque but absolutely beautiful. Beautiful creation
Never expected to find something this good when searching for the life cycle of the dragonfly. Thanks :)
Nice video of life cycle. Thank you.

I loved that ending! gave me the chills XD excellent photography!
So beautiful Andy, I really enjoyed your film.......here's to the under world dragons and their emergence next Summer!
What a terrific film. I thought it looked like Staffordshire before I saw the credits (though I had mis-identified the specific locations).
beautiful, disturbing, awestruck and down right awesome. thanks for taking the time to capture and tell such a story.

Andy, this is wonderful, thank you for making it!
Congratulations Andy. This film is outstanding!
Brilliant work 🍷
Beautifully filmed with great music - but the music is too loud and I had sometimes difficulties hearing your words.
the end, haha excellent
This looks too good to be that old
What an amazing piece of video work. Loved it not only for its educational aspects but also for the skill and creativity in producing it. Fantastic!
Amazing video... beautiful narration. Wonder why NG has not bought it yet...
Thank you, what an inspiring and informative film, I was enthralled.
This is a fascinating documentary.
That said, I have one criticism... 'Mars' in the music credits at the end has been omitted! - it is @3:03 😉
Excellent film! Thanks for producing and sharing :)
Wonderful film!
Beautifully done and very informative, thanks.
Well this was really good…
Wow fantastic Andy,

A beautiful video. Keep the background music a bit quieter, or else speak up, though.
Precious, darling dragonflies! Beautiful music, too!!!!
Is this is a copy of National Geographic "The Secret World of Dragonflies | Short Film Showcase", or vice versa?
Thanks for interesting Video! Good luck! Best greetings from entomologist in Ukraine! :)

That was great!
This same program is also shown by National Geographic, begs the question who made, or who cares?
