    i remember once catching a giant dragon fly, she was gorgeous, so big she could barely fit an a mason jar, i showed to her to my co workers, then I released her, then a Bulbul bird hopped from a tree and snatched the dragon fly within metres from being released.

    Sorry mate. I really am sorry.

      I once found a huntsman spider in my car. I pulled into a playing field carpark and encouraged the spider out. It was immediately eaten by an Australian magpie

      I tried to save it, others would have crushed it. The maggie did.

    I think about this regarding dragonflies. Imagine taking two years to mature underwater and the minute you’re given your wings, CRUNCH.
