Short story alert:

Once upon a time there was a beautiful robin who built a bird nest in a tree near the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. The robin laid 3 delicate cream-colored eggs in the nest. The eggs were the loveliest cream color with tiny little red speckles the robin had ever seen. The robin sat on her eggs to keep them warm for almost 15 days unless she was out hunting for food to eat.  When the mother robin wasn’t sitting on her eggs to keep them warm or hunting for food to eat, she would perch near the top of the Eiffel Tower and watch all the people going by. On the 14th day the eggs started slowly hatching one by one until there were three tiny baby robins for the parents to care for. Both parents of the baby robins take turns feeding them. For about 3 weeks the parents feed their beautiful baby birds. After two weeks of the baby robins being in the nest the parents gently nudge them from the nest to teach them how to fly and take care of themselves. One by one the baby robins are gently and safely pushed from the tree. All three of the baby birds land safely on the ground where they learn to fly and feed themselves. THE END!

4. There are many colors of dragonflies but one of the rarest colors of a dragonfly is the pink dragonfly.

5. Dragonflies are insectivores/carnivores. Carnivores means that they only eat meat. Dragonflies eat flying insects and other insects. Dragonflies are mostly diurnal and prefer to hunt for food during the daytime hours. Diurnal means dragonflies are awake during the daylight hours.

6. A group of dragonflies are called a cluster of dragonflies or a flight of dragonflies.

7. Dragonflies are cold-blooded and love to be in the sun. The sun helps them regulate their bodies temperature.

9. Dragonflies live around streams, lakes, ponds, and other wetlands.


One last cool fact:

INCASE YOU WERE WONDERING, YES, DRAGONFLIES POOP!

Have you ever wondered how these insects manage their waste? Let’s take a dive into the less talked about, yet equally intriguing aspect of their excretion (POOP) process.

The Digestive System of Dragonflies:

Dragonflies have a complex digestive system that begins with their mouth, designed to capture and eat prey. Once their food is digested, the waste products are processed in the digestive tract. Unlike humans, dragonflies have a unique structure at the end of their bodies known as the rectal chamber. This chamber serves as a storage space for waste.

The Excretion Station:

When it’s time for a dragonfly to excrete, it utilizes the rectal chamber as its command center for waste management. By contracting their abdominal muscles, dragonflies can expel waste from the rectal chamber. This process is efficient and allows them to maintain their cleanliness, even while on the move.

A Flight with a Surprise:

Interestingly, dragonflies often release their waste mid-flight. So, the next time you’re admiring these unique creatures zipping through the air, remember that they might just be taking care of their natural elimination process!

Short story alert:

There once was a beautiful emerald-green dragonfly who loved to fly from pond to pond in search of food! One day she couldn’t find any flying insects to eat at her usual eating spots on the pond. So, she went on an adventure flying high in the sky till she came to this large lake. There were flying insects everywhere. Oh, how happy she was! She spent all day eating all the flying insects she could. She was filled with joy and her belly was filled with food. She flew back to her pond and slept all night. THE END!
