Dragonhunter Naiad

Eventually, sadly, Barton Creek dried up this summer.  It took longer than usual though.  But before it totally dried up, it left some little puddles where dragonfly larvae were trapped.  This picture shows a dragonhunter naiad in a puddle that will certainly dry up by the next day.  What will it do?  Die of dessication.   Burrow under something. Metamorphose.


There were also some other naiads in the pool, but I don't know what they were.
