Dragonfly
What do you get when you cross a parrot with a shark?
An animal that talks your head off.
Interesting Fact: Old and unreliable claims are made that dragonflies such as the southern giant darner can fly up to 60 miles per hour (97 km/h).[50] However, the greatest reliable flight speed records are for other types of insects.[51] In general, large dragonflies like the hawkers have a maximum speed of 10–15 metres per second (22–34 mph) with average cruising speed of about 4.5 metres per second (10 mph).[52] Dragonflies can fly at 100 body-lengths per second, and three lengths per second backwards.

My grammie believed a dragonfly could sew your lips together, if it was in a bad mood. She was happy when I convinced her that it couldn’t.
Wow that would be really interesting if they were able to do so. Thank you very much for stopping by and sharing your story with us. Happy Blogging! 🙂

I remember a dragonfly hitting me once. It was an unprovoked aerial attack. I felt a thump on my head, and knew I had to stand my ground. Dont let’em win.
Hehehe. You are definitely one of the lucky ones that survived a dragonfly attack. I hope you don’t have any flashbacks. Hehehe Thank you very much for stopping by and getting me to laugh. Happy Blogging! 🙂
