Mixed Media: Minor | I was told that the dragonfly might stand out more if I flipped the image - so I did, and I think it does stand out better :)

Green Darners are one of the larger dragonflies, growing up to about 2.5 to 3 inches, about the same size as hummingbirds.
Dragonflies were some of the first winged insects to evolve around 300 million years ago. Fossil dragonflies have been found with wingspans of up to two feet! These days their wingspan is from 2 to 5 inches and their wing beat is around 50 to 90 beats per second. They have two pairs of wings that they can beat together or separately and their rear wings can be out of phase with the front wings.
