Snowy Egret and Common Green Darner Egretta thula and Anax junius

Have you ever heard the fact that dragonflies are one of the most successful predators in the world, and they catch about 95% of the prey that they hunt? Well, we watched this poor darner try and fail to catch a butterfly, and then immediately get snatched by this snowy egret. Maybe this guy was towards the end of its lifespan, or maybe just very unlucky!

Common Green Darner

As warm weather brings out the small insects you also begin to see the predatory dragonflies stalking them. In nature opportunity motivates.

This idea came over me two days ago and I just couldn't resist making insect-raptor ocs

your mission: assign bugs to your favorite hermits

Ooo, okay!

Gem is a Monarch Butterfly, due to her Empires season 2 wings and theme!

Wels would be a Chrysina limbata, because beetles have armored shells, and this beetle is all metallic and silvery.

Joel is a Common Green Darner, they're fast predatory dragonflies, with the dragon aspect fitting into Japanese culture, the theme of his megabase, and I suppose that also goes for dragonflies. Green Darners are green, which is a Joel color, and an aqua that's about the same color of glow squid... stuff.

Zed would be a Sheep Jumping Spider, for one, the it's called a sheep jumping spider, and a sheep is what Zed is most commonly portrayed as in fanon. The sheep jumping spider is small white and fluffy, is quite a quick and nimble animal, and jumping spiders are one of the most unorthodox bugs, and tell me with a straight face that Zed is a very orthodox Minecraft player. (I'll admit, I cheated on this one. Spiders are arthropods, not bugs. Sue me, ig)

Cub is a glowworm. Glowworms are quite pretty creatures, but they can be dangerous. (especially towards smaller bugs) They use their glowy bits to attract prey and lure it in. They're sly little tricksters. Just like Cub. That man also has some scheme up his sleeve. Also, look up a picture of a glowworm cave, it actually looks somewhat like sculk, especially the blue ones.

Esther (e***********7@gmail.com) submitted: Hello from California (LA area)! I found this dragonfly and I’d love an ID! She was just chilling here?? She was definitely alive but seemed too stunned to move…

Hello! Looks like a common green darner. It’s possible she was just resting or maybe too chilly to fly off yet. I’ll bet she was fine either way though!

Their journey is fulfilled with the assurance that successors follow. This is the fundamental design of life.
