A
newly transformed dragonfly (below) clings to a reed growing in a pond in a
rural area of Douglas County near Elkton, Ore., on Tuesday, June 26,
2012. Dragonflies spend their larvae, or nymph, stage as aquatic
insects. When ready the dragonfly emerges from the water to shed its
exoskeleton (above) and transform into a flying insect.
