Red Dragonfly


The red Dragonfly: we found this inside the central park of  Salt Lake city in Kolkata. One day Doro and I spent some time there and took some photos of dragonflies and squirrels. The colourful dragonflies are very common in any park or in rural areas in India. We now got to know from Wikipedia that even though they have six legs like any other insects, they can not walk! Dragonflies have multifaceted eyes and two strong and transparent wings.
