I think urban legends like that make the world a little less small and boring. Once you realize that just about every wild animal is tracked, tagged, counted, and managed with precision that would put ranchers to shame, the world really does feel just suffocating. I understand why people need to make up ghost cats and insist they’ve seen the Lord God Bird. Knowledge is a curse!

Dragonflies (Devil’s Darning Needles) will go in your ear and puncture your brain.
If a dragonfly lands on your fishing pole, you are about to get a bite, unless you live in Japan, in which case you are inexperienced.
You can tell what fish is going to bite by the type of dragonfly that lands on your pole.
As you can see, I recently read a book about dragonflies.

It’s true, we can eat anything we see an animal eat. It’s just that some of those things, we can only eat once.
