I have also heard that a dragon fly only lives for one day. Whenever I see one or one lands on the end of my fishing pole, I always try not to disturb it. Since it only lives for one day I try to help it have a good experience. I have seen many dragonflys and I have never harmed one. A dragonfly deserves kindness and should be admired for its beauty.

5 seconds for an ant. One time, I dropped bleach on an ant colony. That thing took months before ants would ever populate that area again!
