Dragonfly life dragonfly death

I found this wonderfully complete exuvia on a patch of bird's foot trefoil near the pond yesterday. I'm almost certain it was a Libellula Depressa -- possibly the one in difficulties at the edge of the pond, clinging on to some grass stalks but with wings and abdomen dipped in the water. I suspect she got caught in a downpour and then couldn't open her wings. I did move her out of the water, but she died overnight.







One more photo: can anyone identify these eggs? Laid (I think) on an elastic sheet that holds them together. What a beautiful geometric configuration they form!

    And we still have a whole year of potential Autavia releases to look replica cartier watches forward to. Maybe we'll see TAG Heuer revisiting its back catalog more directly to finally fill the Autavia Chronograph GMT-sized hole in my heart. Or maybe things will only get even more complicated from here on out; now that we've finally seen an Autavia Flyback Chronograph, my mind is starting to wander toward what Réplicas de Relojes a potential Autavia Rattrapante Chronograph might look like.After all, pas cher cartier montres you only turn 60 once.
