Not a mythical monster generally represented
as a huge, winged reptile that eats a damsel in
distress; only to have its belly slit open by a
knight in shining armor like the woodman did
to the big bad wolf in Little Red Riding Hood,
but by then she had already been digested.
So as not to disappoint, this is a winged insect
that will come upon you hell bent on sewing
your eyelids shut; will pick-up small children
and eat them on the fly; and will crash through
your car's windshield and go right for your
jugular vein (*by the way, it also hates mimes).
However, they typically eat Mosquitoes, but
that was back during WW2 (did you get that
one?); and also like to chow down on flies,
bees and butterflies, but those are only snacks;
much preferring to hang around by lakes where
there are snorklers and nude sun bathers.
Typically though, they can be found in wetlands
where supposedly adult dragonflys go to die, but
beware because that's the breeding ground for
their larvae; also known as 'nymphs' which is
short for nymphomaniac; they have an insatiable
appetite for sex, then eat you like a Praying Mantis!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
Your imagination always gallops along like a steed freed from its rider! Wonderful and entertaining and oddly educational, as well, Lance.
Thank you!
