おもしろい事実

Before they fly, Blue-tipped Dancers live underwater as nymphs for months or even years!

If a predator tries to grab them, they might shed a leg to escape, which is pretty wild!

Male Blue-tipped Dancers flash their bright blue tails to attract mates, like a tiny signal light!

They can perch very still, but are always ready to zoom after a tasty mosquito!
