Dragonflies and their territories, part 2

Hello Guys ... How are you today ?



Really like to see it on a wooden branch that grows soaring upwards like being on a high cloud. It is a dragonfly that often dominates coastal areas, of course a location that has many indentations with clean water, some call it sibar-sibar. Sometimes the Needle dragonfly, also likes to like the same branch of wood, both of them want to master the same branch of wood. They are a group of insects belonging to the Odonata nation. They, and even other species, are insects that rarely stay away from water in separate grooves, where they lay their eggs and spend their pre-adult life. That was his wish in their daily life.


The atmosphere is more real and beautiful, when the blue clouds add a very supportive color state so it is very beautiful when photographed and captured in a photography frame in the afternoon. Incidentally this afternoon, the rain stopped for a moment and the sun seemed bright from all the darkness of the clouds that enveloped it.

Every blue color contained in the clouds, the white color always adds to the brightness of this atmosphere, the dragonfly still stands quietly and spends his time in the afternoon, I found it again and let it remain happy to be on a broken wooden branch, caused by a strong wind with accompanied by heavy rain.


The life of the dragonflies is very simple, they do not demand big things like humans, what they want is a peaceful atmosphere, with their preferred territory, and accompanied by several clean water ponds and hope that there is promising food in it.

The location they chose was very appropriate, because in the clear pond groove there were many larvae and several other types of insects that were often hunted as nutrients for their bodies. Their bodies are always healthy because the food they consume comes from nature, so against such a background, they live happily and thus they can develop their civilization, as long as time is available to them and their habitat, and during that time too, and every population will continue to make changes and developments.


Each individual coastal dragonfly, always crave this area, why? Because here, there are two fish ponds in the form of grooves, and inhabited by various types of fish. A large groove measuring more than 10 m2 with small fish, seemed to swim nimbly to and fro. But the most interesting thing, there are dragonflies and other beautiful birds with various colors, but unfortunately can't be photographed, because they fly freely around the pond at high speed.

At that location, there is an ever-flowing stream of water, small ripples never stop flowing, always in natural motion. This is a promising asset for dragonflies and some other animals. So this location is often visited by every animal. The strong will always control their territory while the losers will move and look for other locations to be controlled by the group.


Here they cycle their developmental life, therefore this area is always dominated and controlled by each of them. Thus it can be concluded that dragonflies really need water and plants. This is what is called a life cycle. When young, dragonflies live in water as dragonfly larvae. Then when they become adult dragonflies, they will look for a free location and always fly freely in the air. Adult dragonflies need shrubs for a place to perch and rest at night, and the wooden branch is used as a resting location.


They include animals that are feared by every insect under their control, this is because the larvae and adult dragonflies are predatory, which always hunts persistently, and every prey target is always found, because they have accurate and reliable hunting techniques. Since becoming larvae, they are used to preying on mosquito larvae and other nuisance insect larvae that live in water, which are in the same area in one location.

Did you know that adult dragonflies are very aggressive in hunting every type of insect, in general they really like to hunt other insects, such as :

  1. Flies
  2. Bed bugs
  3. Mosquitoes
  4. and other small insects that can endanger our lives.

In general, its existence is beneficial for human life, because each of the insects mentioned above is an animal that often irritates us and even carries bad bacteria, so that it has an impact on the health of human growth. Although dragonflies are great predators, they are also often hunted by every other predator. Thus this cool insect is at the top of the food chain and has few natural enemies, including :

  1. Birds
  2. Frogs
  3. Spiders
  4. and robber flies.


If every dragonfly dominated our home or yard, there would be tremendous benefits in repelling every nuisance insect. However, dragonflies do not like the presence of humans in close proximity, because it can scare them, therefore they always stay away and choose a location that is free from various manual or general activities, so they choose a clean and comfortable location. The selected location is a location that has clean puddles of water. So they can be more flexible in carrying out a breeding activity.

In detecting each location that will be selected by its parent, it also becomes a signal for humans to see an area, whether the area is clean naturally or not. So when a dragonfly chooses a puddle in a pond or puddle, it can be ensured that the location is clean and free from any pollution.

Its presence in our area is a great boon for human life, at least if your location has many dragonflies means the area is clean and healthy, this refers to the cases mentioned above.

The dragonfly seen in the picture is also one of the many that dominate a certain area. Of course this area is clean, healthy, and natural.
