Seeing the rhinoceros dragonfly up close, about all the behavior

^{If you look closely, it can be said that, it has a slender abdomen, added with black, green and white colors, with white appendages and has transparent wings, becoming their hallmark when detecting their ID. The number of their presence in an area is influenced by several factors, namely temperature, climate, humidity, pH of the water and the use of insecticides, and many other things that are not visible to the human eye itself}

^{(Rhino Dragonfly or Orthetrum sabina Drury ®2021)}

The sound of roosters crowing can be heard in the back area of ​​the house, indicating that it is morning, as usual helping parents to tidy up everything that is considered important, including releasing pets, namely ducks, chickens, and other pets, as well as feeding them in the morning.

Every pet was very enthusiastic about doing the ritual, especially breakfast, it was seen that they were scrambling to scavenge the leftover food that was spilled on the ground, while the others were still eating in special containers, scrambling too.

Suddenly my eyes fell on a figure who came from a distance, he accidentally hit the chicken food container, with a loud sound, a dragonfly seemed unable to stand up, because his body hit the chicken food container hard, while the location of the incident was very close to my footstool or close to a crowd of ducks eating. Immediately, one of the ducks looked nosy pecking with its cocor, but it didn't hit the target, because the duck's beak only touched the food container, not the dragonfly's body, this happened where the dragonfly body fell in the narrow space between the food container and the wall of their cage. The duck's attempts to eat it were unsuccessful, due to the complicated terrain.

Even though the dragonfly is still alive, it can't flap its wings, not even its tiny feet, it can't hold onto something like when they are healthy perched on a dry woody plant. He continued to struggle to escape but was unable to, because his body was injured or still in pain.

Feel sorry to see it 😢😢

Immediately, I did not remain silent, then took his small body, which looked alive but could not stand up. Took the small body and placed it in the palm of left hand, while examining the injured or other body parts.

Even though it was already in the palm of my left hand, it was still trying to escape its way, but it was still very weak and helpless in a situation.

It took almost 15 minutes for him to repair himself in the palm of my hand, but slowly he seems to be getting a little better just waiting for his energy to return to 100%.

The progress of his recovery continues, so this is where I saw that dragonflies are also able to heal themselves in an accident as long as their body parts are not cut off by something. Seen the character when performing a natural ritual, as you will see in the image below, one by one. Here's the picture.

Looking different in a standing position from a ritualized direction, I felt her little legs being activated slowly.

Even though his palm felt like it was being stabbed with a small foot, I still let him do what he wanted, the most important thing was his recovery.

The dragonfly, keeps circling from one direction to another, so the pose is different from before, is this an attempt at healing? Or indeed he wanted to fly to a convenient location.

Then he, continuing to move towards the edge of the palm, looked out of the original location, maybe he was estimating the size of the flight in the maneuver or some other estimate I don't know. In essence, he was trying his best to escape.

Slowly I felt his little legs were able to support his body, the small movement was felt once in the palm of the hand, as well as the wings, slowly moved, although still weak.

It seems his body has started to improve, it can be ascertained that all four wings are trying to move even though it is very slow, only two wings can be seen moving while the other two wings are following his body's orders.

I tried to turn my palm, with the intention that he moved and had to fly to his habitat, or to the main mission before he had an accident. The dragonfly responds to hand movements, then also turns in the other direction, this makes me happier because he has recovered, he just needs a decision, whether he still wants to rest or fly soon.

Finally I saw him turn, his back to me, and here it is certain that he has recovered before being able to fly, this state is also read when he was getting ready to make an early flight, he finally flew, and managed to fly high. The dragonfly has raised my palm, with less than perfect speed it tries to fly in the direction it wants, and the mission is successful. He was only in pain for about 20 minutes more and less.

May he be safe on his next journey, in reaching the forgotten dream. I also enjoy being able to meet up close and be able to notice any behavior that is rarely seen.

That's the story today, which I experienced in the morning, I hopefully you like it. Thank you.
