Displaced Dragonfly

Photo from my flickr account

More pictures! In early September I took a day trip to Nakamura, about 3 hours by train, to check out the dragonfly park there. It was rad.

My friend and I took a walk with the founder of the dragonfly park. He very specifically took us to the spot where this little guy lives, and pointed out that it's a Taiwanese species. It lives in Japan now because of global warming, which has made the climate much as it formerly was 300 degrees of latitude south of Shikoku.

Ritsurin Park is now my favourite site in Japan and all the dragonfly photos are gorgeous! /Mom
