I set up two ten gallon aquariums and lit them as one and set up a chair in front of it sat down and watched like a television. A long time elapsed. Then a monstrous insect suddenly appeared at the bottom of the tank against the glass, segmented with the ugliest head I ever saw on an insect, positively sinister in appearance, and moving like a snake urgently around the entire edge to the back where it disappeared into plants.
A few days later I sat there again and right off the bat, buzz buzz buzz flapflapflapflap buzz buzz and there was a dragonfly. It took me a moment to put the two together, I would have expected a larger dragonfly based on the size of the insect, maybe it wasn't that big after all. A small blue dragonfly and I didn't mind at all having it around a few days until it died.
It must have come in with the plants and became part of the set up.

Dragonfly's are the best fliers out of all of them.
