Prompt #9: What if Dragonflies Were as Big as Busses?


Dragonflies lay their eggs in water. The eggs hatch into larvae called nymphs. After growing and developing in the water, where they eat other insects and even very small minnows (baby fish), they shed their skin and emerge from the water. When their wings dry off, they fly away.

One day you found a lonely dragonfly that was as big as a school bus. It followed you home, and you decided to keep it as a pet. Write a story about your adventures with the dragonfly!
