Baby Dragonfly Nymph In Aquarium W/ Macro Photo Slideshow

•Putting a small baby Dragonfly Nymph into my aquarium! I swapped my Giant Water Bug out for this dragonfly nymph I caught Friday in a concrete cylinder filled w/ old, stagnant rain water.

*I upgraded my fish tank w/ 2 pieces of hanging fake plants & also a small, fake floating log so the dragonfly will hopefully be able crawl up above the water surface when it’s time for it to molt out of its exoskeleton & become an adult dragonfly w/ its wings. 🤓😏

I might start taking the lid off when I go to work at some point when it gets a little bigger.

**I had 2 of these 3 weeks ago. Before I could find a fish tank w/ a bit of room for the molting process out of water, the bigger nymph ate the smaller one (I found it eating what was left of the smaller one’s HEAD when I woke up!) & then the bigger one died in my cup I had them in.
