Dragonfly
Born in water, ruler of the air
Born in water, ruler of the air
Crustaceans that compost the forest floor
Eat. Molt. Metamorphose.
Big bluff, sharp beak, potent chemistry.
One pair per segment. All predator.
Larval lanterns of the night
Nature's nighttime clean-up crew
Soil's quiet recyclers with many legs
Air-breather with a bubble-nest crown.
Small fish, big color, fast families
Tiny schools, huge diversity
The popcorn-scented canopy climber
Barbs: big family, bigger variety
Naked gills, wild skills.
Reef gardeners with a hidden blade
Small crustaceans, big ocean jobs
Big bite, bigger ecosystem role.
Dig deep. Breed fast. Vanish again.
Crustaceans that live like living glue
The train that stole the spotlight
Mud, Milk, Muscle: The Water Buffalo
Tiny bear, giant tongue, big appetite
Andes' secret gardener in fur
Elytra on, world conquered.
