An Encounter with the Red Dragonflies of Wadi Showkha, RAK


Prey locked on its jaws! A red dragon chewing on a fly

Ready for take-off!

Just imagine the lifting power of this odonate!

Dragonflies have been and will always be a great fascination of mine. Every time I see these aerodynamic odonates, I cannot help myself but to just gaze at their form, flight and ferocity in the air. The last expedition at the Wadi Showkha in RAK was truly amazing. These red dragons were posting for the SamuraiBug. It has been a personal campaign of mine to push for the conservation and appreciation of these beautiful insect predators. People often fear what they do not know and what they do not understand. As we are pushing for the conservation of bees, let us also push for the conservation and appreciation of dragonflies. 

Dragonflies play an important part in the sustainability of our environment. Lets keep it that way. The same way we need to be BEE-FRIENDLY lets also be DRAGONFLIES-FRIENDLY. 

Awesome creatures. Awesome CREATOR!
