    Poor thing! It's amazing how insects can still get by in nature even when injured, although I'm sure it reduces their survival and fitness! I once found a dragonfly with no abdomen...and it was alive!
    Slaty Skimmer - Libellula incesta I found this dragonfly at an observation blind. It didn't have an abdomen, but was still alive! Ugh, the poor thing was struggling to try to fly.<br /> <br /> Habitat: Deciduous forest<br /> <br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/84390/dragonfly_-_odonata_anisoptera.html<br /> <br /> https://vimeo.com/359876889 Anisoptera,Geotagged,Libellula incesta,Slaty Skimmer,Summer,United States,dragonfly,odonata
