SO COOL!!! The only time I ever got to hold a dragonfly was when I found an injured one with a broken wing that couldn’t fly anymore 😢 I’m amazed that he stayed on your hand long enough to snap this pic. Such a pretty shade of green

Yeah 😭😭😭 and I’ve been bitten before, it’s a nasty bite 🙏🙏 but! They only bite when they’re extremely scared, so the fact he didn’t bite means I did something right :D
