...and that's one big dragonfly, sitting on top of a water fountain in the Eastern Serbian town of Pirot we visited not long ago. The big bug's all metal, including its mesh wings, but I couldn't find any other info about it. People I asked didn't know who designed it or why, and there was no plaque. Behind the dragonfly to the right is "Beograd," one of a now defunct (another d!) socialist chain of department stores around Serbia and the former Yugoslavia. They've been bought out (privatized) by I believe some Greek store chain, so we'll see what they do with them.Wednesday, August 13, 2008

I love dragonflies but don't see too many around here. Now THAT is one huge dragonfly! :D
This is a wonderful dragonfly, actually my favorite insect, right up there with ladybugs.
That Dragonfly would be right at home among the 'Urban Art' on Albany Point!
That has to be the largest dragonfly Ihave ever seen.

That is one big dragonfly. I have one of the live variety on my blog this week.
That is a big one! I bet it flies round a very big pond! It makes an interesting piece of art.
ha ha he is funny, better than all the statues we have here of admiral nelson and queen victoria, a few dragonflies would be cool here in london, actually maybe a huge big mosquito or two!
