The Metamorphosis of a Dragonfly

This short film documented the magical transformation (metamorphosis) of a dragonfly from its nymph to an adult. All footages were captured with an iPhone 6s from May 25th 11pm to May 26th 7am. Metamorphosis is truly a wonder of nature.

There should be pre evo of yanma, with bug/water type.

[@OddSauce]

The trapinch family is actually based on antlions

[@KnightedSilverWolf]

That's a TURTLE. dumb ass

[@UltimateThanos]

Wow, the wings just bloom out like flower petals. It’s surprisingly pretty.

[@tango-bravo]

I wonder what this feels like on a human level…a long panic attack that subsided when you realize you’ve transformed and fly away? Dying and being reborn? A sexual feeling? Asexual feeling? I often wonder what humans can learn from this.

[@chucklefuck]

Many metamorphosing insects basically turn into liquid in the cocoon or pupa, then reform into their new body. I can't imagine human consciousness surviving that, so I imagine it feels like dying.

[@Vesper8088]

@chucklefuck, there is some science pointing to butterflies being able to remember at least part of their life as a caterpillar, so maybe it's closer to some sort of coma?

Incomplete Metamorphosis - Type of metamorphosis found in insects. The insect goes through 3 stages of growth: Egg-Nymph-Adult. Insects that undergo incomplete metamorphosis include grasshoppers, cicadas, cockroaches, and lice.

Great Videography, That would have taken patience. So interesting to see.

[@bobjacobson858]

I've watched many cicadas eclose, and this appears to be an identical sequence.

[@ServetusTrumpsCalvin]

Metamorphisis is by Design, folks! Programmed to transform, not by their own will. True God-smack.

[@biotasekitarkitachannel3203]

Amazing story

[@hanmanthasai2726]

Do the shape of face also changes apart from change in color.

[@prettybird2588]

[@rbykwon]

To think these were around with dinosaurs......

[@catemaccoll9626]

Please please please, what music is that?

[@roshansuryawanshi8658]

But how dragon fly can aline his wings parallel to his body? Damselflies can do it, but dragon fly can't...

[@TruNYC1]

What music is that

[@64davrecon]

That's how nature makes an airplane.....

[@biotasekitarkitachannel3203]

Beautifull story

[@EROCC007]

I enjoyed this

[@Geminish15]

I looked this up because I'm looking at jewelry with dragonfly symbology inferring transformation such as a 🦋 but I didn't realize they cocoon and get reborn like butterflies!

[@ARCSYS4049]

That's an awful lot of unnecessary and irritating camera movement and jump cuts.

[@williwin1554]

The name « dragonfly » is a feminine name in French. Of course it is... a dragonfly is incredibly gracious and delicate, just like a woman.
