Damselfly emerges, June 2013

We were privileged to witness the whole event in the classroom

And to think, we caught the emergence on video, too!

Start with a larva, determined to crawl out of the water ...
 ... leaves its exuvia behind, pumps to deploy those wings ... 

 ... starts to dry and stretch out ... 
 ... and there's the adult, ready to live out the rest of its life!
