Dragonflies are fierce predators targeting any prey they can catch and handle.
These include small flies, butterflies, and other small insects including mosquitoes.

Butterflies @ Hortpark

Butterflies @ Hortpark
Sky Blue

Part VIII
Interesting plant that's attracting the beautiful butterflies.

Looked like a lady (sorry, it could well be a gentleman) sitting and waiting for her buddy.




And I realized why cartoonists protrayed those butterflies the way they did; because they looked that way! Amazing...

My favourite @ HortPark

My favourite @ HortPark

Part VI
Apart from leaves and flowers, I love grass/weeds too. That's me!! I think they are strong and hardy, able to withstand our constant 'stomping' and have very strong willl to survive. On the flipside, some can be quite unsightly, and many find them a nuisance, especially if left neglected. But who's fault??!!
I simply love these, and the more the merrier.
What a beautiful sight when they sway with the wind.
